################################################################################ # WeBWorK mod_perl (c) 2000-2002 WeBWorK Project # $Id$ ################################################################################ package WeBWorK::PG::Local; =head1 NAME WeBWorK::PG::Local - Use the WeBWorK::PG API to invoke a local WeBWorK::PG::Translator object. =head1 DESCRIPTION WeBWorK::PG::Local encapsulates the PG translation process, making multiple calls to WeBWorK::PG::Translator. Much of the flexibility of the Translator is hidden, instead making choices that are appropriate for the webwork-modperl system It implements the WeBWorK::PG interface and uses a local WeBWorK::PG::Translator to perform problem rendering. See the documentation for the WeBWorK::PG module for information about the API. =cut use strict; use warnings; use File::Path qw(rmtree); use WeBWorK::PG::ImageGenerator; use WeBWorK::PG::Translator; use WeBWorK::Utils qw(readFile formatDateTime writeTimingLogEntry makeTempDirectory); BEGIN { # This safe compartment is used to read the large macro files such as # PG.pl, PGbasicmacros.pl and PGanswermacros and cache the results so that # future calls have preloaded versions of these large files. # This saves a significant amount of time. $WeBWorK::PG::Local::safeCache = new Safe; # warn "Creating new Safe cache compartment ".$WeBWorK::PG::Local::safeCache->root; } sub new { my $invocant = shift; my $class = ref($invocant) || $invocant; my ( $ce, $user, $key, $set, $problem, $psvn, $formFields, # in CGI::Vars format $translationOptions, # hashref containing options for the # translator, such as whether to show # hints and the display mode to use ) = @_; # write timing log entry writeTimingLogEntry($ce, "WeBWorK::PG::new", "user=".$user->user_id.",problem=".$ce->{courseName}."/".$set->set_id."/".$problem->problem_id.",mode=".$translationOptions->{displayMode}, "begin"); # install a local warn handler to collect warnings my $warnings = ""; local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { $warnings .= shift } if $ce->{pg}->{options}->{catchWarnings}; # create a Translator #warn "PG: creating a Translator\n"; my $translator = WeBWorK::PG::Translator->new; # set the directory hash #warn "PG: setting the directory hash\n"; $translator->rh_directories({ courseScriptsDirectory => $ce->{pg}->{directories}->{macros}, macroDirectory => $ce->{courseDirs}->{macros}, templateDirectory => $ce->{courseDirs}->{templates}, tempDirectory => $ce->{courseDirs}->{html_temp}, }); # evaluate modules and "extra packages" #warn "PG: evaluating modules and \"extra packages\"\n"; my @modules = @{ $ce->{pg}->{modules} }; foreach my $module_packages_ref (@modules) { my ($module, @extra_packages) = @$module_packages_ref; # the first item is the main package $translator->evaluate_modules($module); # the remaining items are "extra" packages $translator->load_extra_packages(@extra_packages); } # set the environment (from defineProblemEnvir) #warn "PG: setting the environment (from defineProblemEnvir)\n"; my $envir = defineProblemEnvir( $ce, $user, $key, $set, $problem, $psvn, $formFields, $translationOptions, ); $translator->environment($envir); # initialize the Translator #warn "PG: initializing the Translator\n"; $translator->initialize(); # $translator->dumpSafe; # debugging code ############################################################################### # Preload the macros files which are used routinely: PG.pl, dangerousMacros.pl, IO.pl # PGbasicmacros.pl and PGanswermacros.pl # Preloading the last two files safes a significant amount of time. ############################################################################### # IO.pl, PG.pl, and dangerousMacros.pl are loaded using unrestricted_load # This is hard wired into the Translator::pre_load_macro_files subroutine # I'd like to change this at some point to have the same sort of interface to global.conf # that the module loading does -- have a list of macros to load unrestrictedly. # This has been replaced by the pre_load_macro_files subroutine. It loads AND caches the files. # While PG.pl and dangerousMacros are not large, they are referred to by PGbasicmacros and PGanswermacros. # Because these are loaded into the cached name space (e.g. Safe::Root1::) all calls to, say NEW_ANSWER_NAME # are actually calls to Safe::Root1::NEW_ANSWER_NAME. It is useful to have these names inside the Safe::Root1: # cached safe compartment. (NEW_ANSWER_NAME and all other subroutine names are also automatically exported into # the current safe compartment Safe::Rootx:: # The headers of both PGbasicmacros and PGanswermacros has code that insures that the constants used are imported into # the current safe compartment. This involves evaluating references to, say $main::displayMode, at runtime to insure that main # refers to Safe::Rootx:: and NOT to Safe::Root1::, which is the value of main:: at compile time. ############################################################################### # TO ENABLE CACHEING UNCOMMENT THE CACHEING CODE AND COMMENT OUT THE STANDARD LOADING CODE # On webwork3 cached code is .2 seconds faster than non-cached code for an existing child. # CACHING CODE: # $translator->pre_load_macro_files($WeBWorK::PG::Local::safeCache, $ce->{pg}->{directories}->{macros}, # 'PG.pl', 'dangerousMacros.pl','IO.pl','PGbasicmacros.pl','PGanswermacros.pl'); # STANDARD LOADING CODE: foreach (qw(IO.pl PG.pl dangerousMacros.pl)) { my $macroPath = $ce->{pg}->{directories}->{macros} .

What more do you want? =item Load PG.pl and dangerousMacros.pl These macros must be loaded without opcode masking, so they are loaded here. =item Set the opcode mask Set the opcode mask to the default specified by WeBWorK::PG::Translator. =item Load the problem source Give the problem source to the translator. =item Install a safety filter The safety filter is used to preprocess student input before evaluation. The default safety filter, &WeBWorK::PG::safetyFilter, is used. =item Translate the problem source Call &WeBWorK::PG::Translator::translate to render the problem source into the format given by the display mode. =item Process student answers Use form field inputs to evaluate student answers. =item Load the problem state Use values from the database to initialize the problem state, so that the grader will have a point of reference. =item Determine an entry order Use the ANSWER_ENTRY_ORDER flag to determine the order of answers in the problem. This is important for problems with dependancies among parts. =item Install a grader Use the PROBLEM_GRADER_TO_USE flag, or a default from the course environment, to install a grader. =item Grade the problem Use the selected grader to grade the problem. =back =head1 AUTHOR Written by Sam Hathaway, sh002i (at) math.rochester.edu. =cut
