Arrive

About

A simple tool to fetch your Advent of Code input and submit your solutions.

Key features and goals:

• keeps your current AOC day selection and solution status in a TOML state file (for human readability)
• caches input files to ease load on AOC servers
• reasonably minimal dependencies

Directories used (see dirs for more info):

|Description|Path | |-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------| |Cache |${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/arrive or ${HOME}/.cache/arrive | |State |${XDG_STATE_HOME}/arrive or ${HOME}/.local/state/arrive|

Install

Via Cargo:

console cargo install --locked arrive

From source:

console git clone https://github.com/tranzystorek-io/arrive.git cargo install --path arrive

Usage

Set a new session token (see Token section):

console arv token set <token>

Print currently stored session token:

console arv token show

Select currently processed advent day:

console arv select -y <year> -d <day>

Show current selection and day completion status:

console arv status

Print input for current selection:

console arv input

Save input to file:

console arv input > path/to/file.txt

Submit advent solution for current selection. If <solution> is omitted, STDIN is read instead.

console arv submit [<solution>]

Token

For the web commands (arv input, arv submit) to work, a valid AOC session token needs to be supplied to arv token set.

To obtain such a token, do the following:

1. Login to AOC: https://adventofcode.com/auth/login
2. In your browser, open the developer tools
3. Navigate to Storage -> Cookies
4. Find and copy the entry named session
5. Run arv token set <token>

These tokens have long expiration dates, so you can typically set-and-forget once.
