Observations on Task Definitions and Gold Commands
I was wondering if these tasks were solvable in your paper?
Task 38: Base64 encode the string 'hello'.
Current gold commands (echo 'hello' | base64 and echo 'hello' | openssl enc -base64) both produce aGVsbG8K (includes a newline). Suggest adding a gold command that encodes 'hello' without the newline to match the task description.
Task 100: Print lines in setup_nl2b_fs_1.sh that are less than 20 characters.
Current gold command (awk 'length < 40' setup_nl2b_fs_1.sh) actually selects lines under 40 characters, not 20. The gold command should be updated to reflect the task.
Task 190: Create a symbolic link in /system/folder1 to the root folder.
Current gold command (ln /system/folder1 -s /) is ambiguous because the task does not specify the name of the symbolic link.
Task 150: Create a symbolic link in /testbed/dir3/subdir1/subsubdir1/FooBar to the root folder.
Same issue as Task 190 — the link name is not specified.
Task 284: Sort the lines of textfile1.txt in reverse alphabetical order and save the result to a new file.
Current gold command (sort -r /testbed/dir1/textfile1.txt > /testbed/dir1/textfile1_reverse_sorted.txt) works, but the task is ambiguous because it does not specify the output file name. Suggest clarifying the task to indicate the output file should be textfile1_reverse_sorted.txt in the same folder as the input file.
Thanks for finding and reporting these errors! I'll get them fixed this weekend.
