How to compile and run supplied lab testers

One-time Only Steps:

Using DrJava

Download the cse1xxTester package (this is necessary only once) from:

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis1xx/lib/cse1xxTester.jar

In DrJava, go to Edit > Preferences > Resource Locations. Click the Add button and locate the cse1xxTester.jar file you just downloaded. This will add the tester package to your classpath.

We suggest you put the file in a directory named something along the lines of cse120\lib.

Then follow these directions:

1. Download the supplied tester (for example, lab01Tester.java)

2. Open the tester in DrJava and compile it.

3. In the interactions pane, type:

java cse1xxTester.labTester lab01Tester (or whatever the name of the actual tester is)

Using the shell / command line, on eniac-l:

You do not need to download cse1xxTester, but instead you may use the latest version from the cse1xx account. Enter the following command:

pico ~/.bashrc

Add the following line to the file:

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home2/c/cse1xx/lib/cse1xxTester.jar

Save the file (Ctrl+O, Enter) and exit the editor (Ctrl+X)

Log out of eniac-l, then log back in.

Then follow these directions:

1. Download the supplied tester (for example, lab01Tester.java)

2. Type the following to compile the tester:

javac lab01Tester.java

3. Type the following to execute the tester upon successful compilation:

java cse1xxTester.labTester lab01Tester (or whatever the name of the actual tester is)
