Questions to Maintainers

Hey! Maybe I've missed it while reading contribution docs, but is there an ability to run tests locally (especially on OS other than unix)? I've been trying to useact tool, but it does not seem to work well (some errors in containers as well as file encoding problems). It may be helpful to be able to run tests locally before submitting the PR.

Also, couple of questions regarding tests:

1. what about using cmake/some unittest framework?
2. what about providing some docker container for the ability to launch tests locally? Is it on your list? (I may be able to help)

P.S. same question about providing docker container to render/display the docs locally

Also, what about adding this problem to the list?https://leetcode.com/problems/longest-palindromic-substring/description/

Idk what act tool is. Are you on windows or Mac? with windows you should be able to run on WSL and on Mac you can get a more recent version of bash to run test.sh. The checks are run manually but can probably be set to run automatically.

@jxu thanks for the info. I'm on win. For some reason, I didn't think about WSL, but rather was trying to launch the container specified in github actions locally on my machine :)
I will try using WSL next time

The container approach should work too as long as you have a standard bash, python, and C++ compiler environment set up

Hi there! You can run tests locally via bash script, as describedhere. I think in the long run it'd be great to somehow integrate code snippets withhttps://lib.cp-algorithms.com, but I'm not really sure how it can be done, if at all.

As for Docker, etc, I don't think we have the capacity to develop something on our end for this. That is, if someone comes up with a solution that somehow makes our life easier, we'd be happy to discuss it over a pull request.
