I was tired of manually typing terminal inputs SO many times to test my python programs, so I did something about it
hey guys, if you're taking CS, more specifically learning python, in school and code your programs in VS Code, i'm sure y'all know the absolute pain of having to type the exact same inputs into the terminal 50 times just to test if your code works.
it was driving me insane so i actually built a VS Code extension to fix it. it basically uses AI to look at what your program is prompting for, automatically types the inputs into the terminal, and runs the whole thing for you.
if you want to try it out and save yourself some time just search up Terminal AutoInput - Dhiya Raja, wherever you guys find your extensions.
let me know if it helps or if you find any bugs.
oh and for it to work, after you guys download the extension you have to press ctrl + shift + p which turns on the AutoInput after that you can run your code watch as everything in the terminal runs automatically with no extra effort from the user side!!
Edit for context: Seeing a few comments about input redirection/text piping or using advanced test suites, I appreciate the technical suggestions, but this extension isn't meant for complex backend frameworks!
I built this specifically for high school/introductory CS students (like CBSE practical prep) who are constantly writing basic, menu-driven interactive scripts that rely heavily on manual keyboard input() prompts in the terminal. No student wants to manage a messy bunch of static .txt input files just to test if a quick condition block works during lab practice. This is just a lightweight quality-of-life tool to keep things fast and frictionless directly inside the native VS Code terminal.
