This document contains instructions to test the OS Compatibilty, Compiler, Python version, and installation of CoppeliaSim Now, follow the steps below for successful testing of the setup.

Prior Setup

• Make sure to keep the following software Up and Running before going ahead with the testing of Task 0.

  • Coppeliasim

Test the Setup

• Open new Terminal

  • Check if pip is installed on your system

     pip --version
    

    • You will see something like this

      pip 22.3 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.10)

    • If pip is not present on your system, you can install it using the command given below.

      sudo apt install python3-pip
      

  • Install eyantra-autoeval by running the command given below.(Make sure that you are in eLSI sprint env)

     pip install -U rich click distro psutil eyantra-autoeval
    

    Note: Make sure the Coppeliasim is running in the background

  • Run this command to generate a result file.

     eyantra-autoeval evaluate --year 2026 --theme sprint1 --task 0
    

    
    
    • If you are facing issues for Ubuntu :
    • If you face an error saying eyantra-autoeval not found, then you need to add the following line to your ~/.bashrc file:

      export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
      

    • Then, run the following command to update your ~/.bashrc file:

      source ~/.bashrc
      

    • Then RUN the above commands again.

• This test file checks whether all the software / plugins are installed with their latest version. If everything is as expected, you will get the message: ✅ All checks passed. Task 0 Output is correct!

• You will see output similar to one shown in Figure 1.

• With this message, a json file result-xxxx-xxxxx.json will be generated in the same directory. This file contains data in an encoded format. It is suggested to not play or modify this file, else your Task 0 will fail during the automatic evaluation. Also, do not rename the file.

  • For example, the result-xxx-xxxxx.json file will be generated in the directory from which you ran the eyantra-autoeval command in the terminal. If you opened the terminal in your home directory, the file will be located at:

    • On Ubuntu: /home/<your-username>/result.json
    • On Windows: C:\Users\<your-username>\result.json

    To check the current directory of your terminal, you can use the command pwd (Ubuntu) or cd (Windows) before running the evaluation command.

• Before submitting, you need to compress the result.json file into a .zip archive. Zip the file directly — do NOT place it inside a folder and then zip the folder, as this will cause the automatic evaluation to fail.

  • On Ubuntu: Right-click on result.json → select Compress... → choose .zip format → click Create. Alternatively, run the following command in the terminal:

    zip result.zip result-xxx-xxxx.json
    

  • On Windows: Right-click on result.json → select Compress to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

  Note: When the .zip file is opened, result.json must appear directly inside it — not nested inside any subfolder.

  
  

Submitting Task 0 Test Setup Output

• Open Task 0 page on the eLSI Sprint Portal, click on the button below.

  Task 0

• For successful completion of Task 0 Test Setup, upload the result.zip file on the portal.

• Select Choose file button to upload the file. From the dialog box, select the file and click Open.

• You shall see the file name result.zip in text-box besides the Upload button as in Figure 3. Click on Submit Task button to submit the zip file.

Note: After submission, the portal may display the status as "Evaluation Pending" for 2-3 days. This is normal — your submission is queued for automatic evaluation. Please do not resubmit during this period. The status will update once evaluation is complete.

• Congrats, you have successfully completed Task0 Setup!
