Topcoder Challenge | Topcoder Community

Challenge Overview

Topcoder is creating a command line tool to help members interact with Topcoder platform for various use cases like submitting the current directory to a challenge, retrieving submissions and artifacts etc...

Source code of existing Topcoder CLI tool can be found here. Please refer to the latest commit in develop branch
Auth0 credentials for implementing M2M support is shared in the challenge forum which will be accessible after registration
User credentials to access development environment is shared in the challenge forum as well

In the CLI, there is a service to do M2M Authentication but it is not integrated with `submit` command yet and it needs to be integrated with the commands which we will be implementing as well.
Right now, submit command can be executed only with user credentials, we should be able to submit using M2M credentials as well provided that `memberId` parameter is passed via .topcoderrc file or as a CLI parameter
You could use any challenge in dev environment to make a submission

Please refer https://github.com/topcoder-platform/topcoder-cli/issues/21
Command to fetch submissions will be executed as `topcoder fetch-submissions`
Option `--latest` will be used to fetch only the latest submission of each member
Option `--userId` will be used to fetch only the submission of that particular user id
Option `--challengeId` will specify from which challenge we will need to fetch the submission
Authentication related options like username, password, m2m should be copied here similar to submit command
Create a directory `${challengeId}-submissions` and download each submission within that directory

Please refer https://github.com/topcoder-platform/topcoder-cli/issues/22
Command to fetch submissions will be executed as `topcoder fetch-artifacts`
Authentication related options like username, password, m2m should be copied here similar to submit command
Create a directory `submission-${submissionId}-artifacts` and download the artifacts within it.

Refactor the authentication functions in such a way that every command which need to do user / M2M authentication can use it. E.g. Getting the instance of Submission Api client based on the credentials (User / M2M) should be moved to a common function so that every function relying on Submission Api client instance can directly invoke it to get the instance and start the action
Every function in the JS file (except tests for now) should have comments following JSDOC style
Helper file should have functions only which is used across multiple services / commands. If it’s not used in multiple functions, please move it to the appropriate service or command file.
