bob: Update to clarify ambiguity regarding shouted questions
kytrinyx opened this issue · comments
TL;DR: the problem specification for the Bob exercise has been updated. Consider updating the test suite for Bob to match. If you decide not to update the exercise, consider overriding description.md.
Details
The problem description for the Bob exercise lists four conditions:
- asking a question
- shouting
- remaining silent
- anything else
There's an ambiguity, however, for shouted questions: should they receive the "asking" response or the "shouting" response?
In exercism/problem-specifications#1025 this ambiguity was resolved by adding an additional rule for shouted questions.
If this track uses exercise generators to update test suites based on the canonical-data.json file from problem-specifications, then now would be a good time to regenerate 'bob'. If not, then it will require a manual update to the test case with input "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?".
See the most recent canonical-data.json file for the exact changes.
Remember to regenerate the exercise README after updating the test suite:
configlet generate . --only=bob --spec-path=<path to your local copy of the problem-specifications repository>
You can download the most recent configlet at https://github.com/exercism/configlet/releases/latest if you don't have it.
If, as track maintainers, you decide that you don't want to change the exercise, then please consider copying problem-specifications/exercises/bob/description.md into this track, putting it in exercises/bob/.meta/description.md
and updating the description to match the current implementation. This will let us run the configlet README generation without having to worry about the bob README drifting from the implementation.
