Question 1

How do I set up CompetiTest.nvim with lazy.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Install it by adding a configuration block in your lazy.nvim setup: use { 'xeluxee/competitest.nvim', dependencies = 'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim', config = function() require('competitest').setup() end }. Ensure Neovim is version 0.5 or higher and nui.nvim is installed as a dependency.

Question 2

Does CompetiTest.nvim support Python?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Python is supported out-of-the-box with a default run command using 'python' and the file name. You can customize it in the run_command configuration section if needed, such as changing the interpreter or arguments.

Question 3

How to download problems from Codeforces using CompetiTest.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Install the Competitive Companion browser extension, then in Neovim, run :CompetiTest receive problem or :CompetiTest receive contest. Click the green plus button in your browser on the Codeforces problem page to automatically fetch testcases and create source files.

Question 4

CompetiTest.nvim vs CP Editor: which is better for competitive programming?

Accepted Answer

CompetiTest.nvim is ideal if you're already using Neovim and want deep editor integration with customizable workflows, while CP Editor is a standalone GUI tool that might be easier for beginners or those preferring a graphical interface. CompetiTest.nvim excels in automation within Neovim but requires more setup.

Question 5

Can CompetiTest.nvim handle interactive problems?

Accepted Answer

No, interactive task handling is listed as a future feature in the roadmap, so it currently cannot manage problems that require real-time input/output interactions. You'll need alternative tools or manual methods for such cases.

Question 6

What browsers work with CompetiTest.nvim's Competitive Companion?

Accepted Answer

The Competitive Companion extension supports browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. After installing it, CompetiTest.nvim uses a local port (default 27121) to receive data, so ensure the extension is enabled and the browser is compatible as per the extension's documentation.

Question 7

How to configure testcase storage in CompetiTest.nvim?

Accepted Answer

Use options like testcases_use_single_file to choose between single file or multiple files, and set formats like testcases_input_file_format. You can also convert existing testcases with :CompetiTest convert, and configure per-folder settings via .competitest.lua files.
