Project Background
In this series of challenges, we will build the version 5 (V5) of the challenge API.
Code Access
Repo: https://github.com/topcoder-platform/legacy-challenge-processor
Branch: develop
Detailed requirements
As part of this challenge, you need to update the legacy challenge processor so instead of writing directly into Informix DB, it should call the V4 Challenge API (Swagger attached on the challenge forum) which will then backfill our legacy systems with data.
-
Remove all calls and every dependency to InformixDB, clean up the code and only keep what’s needed.
-
Update all related documentation.
As a reference, this processor https://github.com/topcoder-platform/topcoder-x-processor/ is also calling the V4 API to create F2F Challenges (tasks). You don’t have to use it or change anything in there, we’re providing it ONLY as a reference.
Updating the unit tests is an optional requirement and there will be a bonus payment of $200 if the winning submission (1st place) updates the unit tests.
Should you have any questions, feel free to ask on the challenge forum!
