# WebQuiz

A modern web-based quiz and testing system built with Python and aiohttp that allows users to take multiple-choice tests with real-time answer validation and performance tracking.

## ✨ Features

- **User Management**: Unique username registration with UUID-based session tracking
- **Question System**: YAML-based config with automatic file generation
- **Auto-Generated Files**: Creates default config.yaml and index.html if missing
- **Real-time Validation**: Server-side answer checking and timing
- **Session Persistence**: Cookie-based user sessions for seamless experience
- **Performance Tracking**: Server-side timing for accurate response measurement
- **Data Export**: Automatic CSV export of user responses with configurable file paths
- **Responsive UI**: Clean web interface with dark/light theme support
- **Comprehensive Testing**: Full test suite with integration and unit tests
- **Flexible File Paths**: Configurable paths for config, log, CSV, and static files

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.9+ (required by aiohttp)
- Poetry (recommended) or pip
- Git

### Installation with Poetry (Recommended)

1. **Clone the repository**
   ```bash
   git clone git@github.com:oduvan/webquiz.git
   cd webquiz
   ```

2. **Install with Poetry**
   ```bash
   poetry install
   ```

3. **Run the server**
   ```bash
   webquiz           # Foreground mode
   webquiz -d        # Daemon mode
   ```

4. **Open your browser**
   ```
   http://localhost:8080
   ```

### Alternative Installation with pip

1. **Clone and set up virtual environment**
   ```bash
   git clone git@github.com:oduvan/webquiz.git
   cd webquiz
   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
   ```

2. **Install dependencies**
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

3. **Run the server**
   ```bash
   python -m webquiz.cli
   ```

That's it! The server will automatically create:
- **config.yaml** with sample questions if missing
- **index.html** web interface if missing
- **CSV files** for user response tracking

```

## 🖥️ CLI Commands

The `webquiz` command provides several options:

```bash
# Start server in foreground (default)
webquiz

# Start server with custom files
webquiz --config my-config.yaml
webquiz --log-file /var/log/webquiz.log
webquiz --csv-file /data/responses.csv
webquiz --static /var/www/quiz

# Combine multiple custom paths
webquiz --config quiz.yaml --log-file quiz.log --csv-file quiz.csv --static web/

# Start server as daemon (background)
webquiz -d
webquiz --daemon

# Stop daemon server
webquiz --stop

# Check daemon status
webquiz --status

# Show help
webquiz --help

# Show version
webquiz --version
```

### Daemon Mode Features

- **Background execution**: Server runs independently in background
- **PID file management**: Automatic process tracking via `webquiz.pid`
- **Graceful shutdown**: Proper cleanup on stop
- **Status monitoring**: Check if daemon is running
- **Log preservation**: All output still goes to `server.log`

## 🚀 Release Management

This project uses GitHub Actions for automated versioning, PyPI deployment, and GitHub Release creation.

### Creating a New Release

1. **Go to GitHub Actions** in the repository
2. **Select "Release and Deploy to PyPI" workflow**
3. **Click "Run workflow"**
4. **Enter the new version** (e.g., `1.0.6`, `2.0.0`)
5. **Click "Run workflow"**

The action will automatically:
- ✅ Update version in `pyproject.toml` and `webquiz/__init__.py`
- ✅ Run tests to ensure everything works
- ✅ Commit the version changes
- ✅ Create a git tag with the version
- ✅ Build the package using Poetry
- ✅ Publish to PyPI
- 🆕 **Create a GitHub Release** with built artifacts

### What's included in GitHub Releases

Each release automatically includes:
- 📦 **Python wheel package** (`.whl` file)
- 📋 **Source distribution** (`.tar.gz` file)  
- 📝 **Formatted release notes** with installation instructions
- 🔗 **Links to commit history** for detailed changelog
- 📋 **Installation commands** for the specific version

### Prerequisites for Release Deployment

Repository maintainers need to set up:
- `PYPI_API_TOKEN` secret in GitHub repository settings
- PyPI account with publish permissions for the `webquiz` package
- `GITHUB_TOKEN` is automatically provided by GitHub Actions

## 🧪 Testing

Run the comprehensive test suite:

```bash
# With Poetry
poetry run pytest

# Or directly
pytest tests/

# Run with verbose output
pytest tests/ -v

# Run only integration tests
pytest tests/test_integration.py

# Run only unit tests  
pytest tests/test_server.py
```

### Test Coverage
- **11 Integration Tests**: End-to-end API testing with real HTTP requests
- **3 Unit Tests**: Internal functionality testing (CSV, YAML, data structures)
- **Total**: 14 tests covering all critical functionality

## 📋 Configuration Format

Questions are stored in `config.yaml` (auto-generated if missing):

```yaml
questions:
  - id: 1
    question: "What is 2 + 2?"
    options:
      - "3"
      - "4"
      - "5"
      - "6"
    correct_answer: 1  # 0-indexed (option "4")
  
  - id: 2
    question: "What is the capital of France?"
    options:
      - "London"
      - "Berlin"
      - "Paris"
      - "Madrid"
    correct_answer: 2  # 0-indexed (option "Paris")
```

## 📊 Data Export

User responses are automatically exported to `user_responses.csv`:

```csv
user_id,username,question_text,selected_answer_text,correct_answer_text,is_correct,time_taken_seconds
550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000,john_doe,"What is 2 + 2?","4","4",True,3.45
```

## 🎨 Customization

### Adding Your Own Questions

1. **Edit config.yaml** (created automatically on first run)
2. **Restart the server** to load new questions  
3. **Questions must have unique IDs** and 0-indexed correct answers
4. **Use custom file paths**: 
   - Config: `webquiz --config my-questions.yaml`
   - Logs: `webquiz --log-file /var/log/quiz.log`
   - CSV: `webquiz --csv-file /data/responses.csv`
   - Static files: `webquiz --static /var/www/quiz`

### Styling

- Modify `static/index.html` for UI changes
- Built-in dark/light theme toggle
- Responsive design works on mobile and desktop

## 🛠️ Development

### Key Technical Decisions

- **Server-side timing**: All timing calculated server-side for accuracy
- **UUID-based sessions**: Secure user identification without passwords  
- **Middleware error handling**: Clean error management with proper HTTP status codes
- **CSV module usage**: Proper escaping for data with commas/quotes
- **Auto-file generation**: Zero-configuration setup with sensible defaults

### Architecture

- **Backend**: Python 3.9+ with aiohttp async web framework
- **Frontend**: Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no frameworks)
- **Storage**: In-memory with periodic CSV backups (30-second intervals)
- **Session Management**: Cookie-based with server-side validation

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Port already in use:**
```bash
# Kill process using port 8080
lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill -9
```

**Virtual environment issues:**
```bash
# Recreate virtual environment
rm -rf venv
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

**Questions not loading:**
- Check that `config.yaml` has valid YAML syntax
- Restart server after editing config file
- Check server logs for errors
- Use custom file paths:
  - `--config` for custom config file
  - `--log-file` for custom log location
  - `--csv-file` for custom CSV output location
  - `--static` for custom static files directory
