Hello. Thanks for opening a PR on Exercism. We are currently in a phase of our journey where we have paused community contributions to allow us to take a breather and redesign our community model. You can learn more in this blog post. As such, all issues and PRs in this repository are being automatically closed.

That doesn't mean we're not interested in your ideas, or that if you're stuck on something we don't want to help. The best place to discuss things is with our community on the Exercism Community Forum. You can use this link to copy this into a new topic there.

Ping @ErikSchierboom as I think this is valid -- prove passes all the tests locally. :D

I know @kytrinyx made some changes to the documentation since and if it doesn't gel then I'm happy to rework it.

It would be great if draft PRs could still run so we can still check them for validity.

Thanks for reopening @m-dango ! :D

Is this perhaps failing because the new rakudo-star version 2023.02 is pending? ( The compile now requires a newer version of perl or perl subs enabled. )

Or does template-data.yaml need to be in the .meta folder? I think it used to be there under a different name, exercise-data.yaml, and perhaps the way I ran exercise-gen.raku as ./raku/bin/execise-gen.raku put it in a different folder?

@m-dango and @kotp are the resident Raku maintainers, so you don't need me :)_

@habere-et-dispertire Yes, unfortunately there was a dependency for prove6 missing when the last version of Rakudo Star was built. I'm looking into now bumping the docker image to the new version of Rakudo Star.

[habere-et-dispertire]

Great -- looks like the new docker image has arrived. Thanks @m-dango 🍡 !
How do we restart the checks here ?

I restarted the checks.

I don't know too much about MacOS but it seems an older version of Rakudo Star is being installed than what the latest available is? (2022.12 instead of 2023.02).

[habere-et-dispertire]

I'd like to help. Let me know if I can look into anything. 👍
FWIW, after compiling and installing Rakudo Star on my macOS system, prove6 seems okay:

$ prove6 --version

prove6 0.0.12 with TAP::Harness 0.3.5 on rakudo (2023.02)

[habere-et-dispertire]

Any update ?
Thanks everyone !
:D

Workflows failing due to reasons unrelated to these changes. One of them is addressed here: #600

[habere-et-dispertire]

Does 2023-04 (just out) perhaps address the remaining issues ? prove6 appears still available, at least on macOS:

~/rakudo/bin $ prove6 --version
prove6 0.0.12 with TAP::Harness 0.3.5 on rakudo (2023.04)

[habere-et-dispertire]

Thanks ❣
