## Problem Race countdown had three reliability issues: - Notified every second regardless of remaining time (noisy for hours-long waits) - Never re-fetched start times (stale if contest rescheduled) - No retry on setup failure at T=0 — if the scraper failed at the most critical moment, the entire countdown was wasted ## Solution - **Notification tiers**: >1h every 15m, >5m every 1m, >1m every 10s, ≤60s every 1s - **Drift correction**: re-fetch contest list every 10 minutes, update `start_time` if changed - **T=0 retry**: `race_try_setup` calls `scrape_contest_metadata` with the new `on_error` callback, retrying up to 15 times at 3s intervals (~45s). Caches metadata on success, then calls `setup_contest` on the fast (cached) path. Token guard invalidates stale retries after cancellation. - **`on_error` for `scrape_contest_metadata`**: optional 4th param, backward-compatible |

cp.nvim
The definitive competitive programming environment for Neovim
Scrape problems, run tests, and debug solutions across multiple platforms with zero configuration.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e81d8dfb-578f-4a79-9989-210164fc0148
Features
- Multi-platform support: AtCoder, CodeChef, Codeforces, and CSES
- Automatic problem setup: Scrape test cases and metadata in seconds
- Dual view modes: Lightweight I/O view for quick feedback, full panel for detailed analysis
- Test case management: Quickly view, edit, add, & remove test cases
- Rich test output: 256 color ANSI support for compiler errors and program output
- Language agnostic: Works with any language
- Diff viewer: Compare expected vs actual output with 3 diff modes
Installation
Install using your package manager of choice or via luarocks:
luarocks install cp.nvim
Dependencies
Quick Start
cp.nvim follows a simple principle: solve locally, submit remotely.
Basic Usage
-
Find a contest or problem
-
Set up contests locally
:CP codeforces 1848 -
Code and test
:CP run -
Navigate between problems
:CP next :CP prev :CP e1 -
Debug and edit test cases
:CP edit
:CP panel --debug
- Submit on the original website
Documentation
:help cp.nvim
See my config for the setup in the video shown above.
Motivation
I could not find a neovim-centric, efficient, dependency-free, flexible, and easily customizable competitive programming workflow that "just works"--so I made it myself. I conferenced with top competitive programmers at Carnegie Mellon Univerity and the University of Virginia and covered their (and my) pain points:
- Scraping: contests are automatically loaded asynchronously
- Test Case Management: test case editor (
:CP edit) - UI: both
runandpanellayouts cover common formats - Extensibility: snippet plugins, compilation, etc. are left to the programmer
