Hello All!
A competitive programming extension for VS Code!
I have created an extension for Visual Studio Code that makes testing, creating, and downloading testcases very easy. It is similar to CPPFastOlympicCoding for Sublime. Search within VS Code Extensions or download from link below. Works on Windows, Mac, Linux. You need to have G++ ( GCC ) installed.
Extension Name : Competitive Programming Helper
Store Link : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DivyanshuAgrawal.competitive-programming-helper
Features
Add multiple testcases.
Download from Codeforces automatically.
Auto compile and run, shows compilation errors, run-time errors ( stack overflow, seg-faults etc).
GUI, no manual file editing.
Please try it out and give feedback. Please report issues/ send feature requests here : https://github.com/agrawal-d/competitive-programming-helper
Thanks!
Amazing extension! Thanks :)
I started few months ago similar tool, you can check it here:
I love the way you display testcases in your tool. Unfortunately I don't have too much time to hack on mine this days, but it would be great if I could incorporate this to my tool, are you ok with that? I see you don't have any LICENSE, so I encourage you to add one.
Your extension is pretty cool! My university examinations are coming soon, so maybe later? And thanks for reminding, I'll add the LICENSE.
Awesome man!!

Amazing Extension. but Not able to download problem and test cases on clicking Firefox extension. I have used custom port You given on set up video.but still it's not working.
The firefox extension have never worked for me. It seems like the port just isn't updated when set. As I couldn't find the local settings file to edit it by myself, I ended up never using it... Copy-pasting a test into a local file is just a matter of seconds after all, even if I'd rather have it done automatically :)
what is Your theme name ?
Aurora X
Hi, is there a quick howto, simple starter guide? I installed the extension, but there is literaly no button or anything where I can click. How can I download problems/testcases from codeforces?
I am not an expert with VSC. Where to start?
Hey! The extension github link above has some instructions and a GIF on how to use. If you still don't understand something feel free to direct message me.
is it fixed Now?
Yes, the issue you mentioned was fixed yesterday. Please update the extension, and it should work again.
Thanks its working again
This is an amazing extension. I was wondering if it's possible to open the file with a custom code template while parsing
Does this work on WSL? When running the test cases, it seems the extension is not picking up the output from my program.
when i press green icon in competitive programming
it says failed to create new file
how parse the problem?
Been waiting for this for a long time. Thanks a lot. :)
If there are multiple correct answers to the problem , will the extension work ?
Nope. Just compares sample I/O
So if the sample input has an alternate answer , it will not work ? I thought codeforces api could help maybe to check output with their custom checker
I am using this extension for quite a while now and I must say, its really useful, Thank you so much. However, I have been facing an issue from the start. When, I am done with my code and click the green button on the input file to show me the answer, for the first time, it runs for about 10 secs before displaying timed out and SIGTERM error. However, once I close vscode and start again, it runs successfully and shows the desired output. Is there any fix?
Just save your file before running the code for the first time . Press Ctrl + s and then press the green button
Even after saving, the issue permits :)
Same issue is happening here too. For the first time I run it shows SIGTERM and then same code works fine for the second time. Got any fix yet?
No. I switched to sublime text :)
Hey, first thanks for this great tool. But I still don't understand how to debug while using this effectively. I mean I generally don't use a debugger. I just use cout statements. So to do this in VS Code I have to do it in the terminal . But the problem is the file name is generally so big. So what should I do?
Hey, I have using this since a month. Recently I switched to new laptop. And whenever I run my program for the 1st time , it shows SIGTERM and then when I run the same code for 2nd time, I says passed. Why is it so?
same problem in one of my problem, did you find solution?
I am also having this issue from last week. still couldn't fix it. I was using it about 1 years in same configuration of vscode.
I have just solved it. it's mentioned in this comment.

thanks vigcancode
disable antivirus and check
anything for "visual studio" not vs code
that would be really helpful.
caide might be what you are looking for. Also in github
could u do me a favor cuz I'm using Sublime Text thx.
It's an amazing tool, I have been using it for months now, but today somehow, the CPH judge got attached to the VS-code sidebar, instead of the usual view on the right side, Can you please tell me how to fix it?
Right click on it -> move to right
Any way to get a judge to a right like it was before ? pls
Step 1 : Go to Extensions Tab [Ctrl + Shift + X], Search "CP Helper", Select the Downloaded Extension
Step 2 & 3 : Click on Down-Arrow Besides "Uninstall" -> "Install Another Version..."
Upvote if it was Helpful!Thanks for the extension. I am getting one error while using "Ctr+Alt+b" option in vsCode. "Aborted creation of new file" . I have installed the browser extension(Competitive Companion) as well.
Could you please suggest some fix. Thanks. HNY 2021!.
did you find the solution? I am facing same issue.
I am using it from last 7 months staright and trust me your creation proved to be the best for me.
The auto submit isnt working please see to this
Can you add something like, if it makes a new file, it already contains my standard code template.... Btw it's a great extension
Cool.
Can we set the default code template as well, since currently we are just able to create a file with the name of of the problem and extracting the test cases. But the code area is blank. Can we have some default code as well?? Thanks
Image to extension settings
In the mentioned image look for the cursor position where you can add the path of your template.cpp or any other file whose contents you want to display as default when CPH create the files! Hope it helps!
EDIT — PROBLEM FIXED, READ THE REPLY COMMENT TO THIS COMMENT
It says no settings found for the extension, and whenever I am creating a new file, it asks for the file language and if I dont press in time, or by mistake press somewhere else, error pops up saying aborted creation of new file. Can you please help?
TO ANYONE WHO DOES NOT SEE THE EXTENSION SETTINGS AND HAVING PROBLEM OF "ABORTED CREATION OF NEW FILE"
FOLLOW THE STEPS:
GO TO : C:\Users\USERNAME\vscode\extensions\divyanshuagrawal.competitive-programming-helper-5.8.5
OPEN package.json FILE
LOCATE "cph.general.defaultLanguage"
CHANGE default VALUE TO LANGUAGE OF YOUR CHOICE
Heyy!! firstly thanks for this extension, helps a lot, orz!!
Could you add C++20 submission support in it? (you can keep numbers used by CF for different types of submissions).
Again, thanks!
I love this extension. Please add a feature that would show on which line the output does not match with the expected output.
Hi and thank you for the amazing extension. Is it possible to make it so that warnings do not show as errors?
Is it working properly? Testcases always shows TIMED OUT for me from past 10 days.
great tool bro :)..
SIGTERM int the first test case :
I have been using this tool for sometime now and this is helpful and thank for that , but after every run this gives sigterm for the first test case (even if the answer is correct and can run under 2ms); it gives the time as 2543 ms or something close and when I run the test cases again it is giving test case passed as the output
I disabled McAfee antivirus and the SIGTERM error is gone .
The antivirus treats the code written by us, as a virus
How can I add new language to this extension. I want to add C# in the extension.
