Hello @tjpriyadarshini what version of windows are you using, what is the error you see or the step you are struggling with? And are you doing manual installation or using the installer?

hey friends, I can't setup exercisim on linux mint, is shows “~/bin/exercism” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)" like that. Anyone help?

@kotp
What was sthe file you downloaded? Sounds like maybe the wrong platform was selected, maybe?
tjpriyadarshini
@tjpriyadarshini
@NobbZ Hello,
It has been downloaded now successfully. I just restarted my computer and then executed it again and it worked. Thank you.
Now can I know, how to start using exercism to solve problems. I windows-installer. But not understanding any thing from that.
Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
@tjpriyadarshini so you say installation worked now? Have you verified by running exercism version in your terminal of choice?
@orkhan777 I'd second Victors opinion, a segfault is a quite common sympton when downloading the binary for wrong operation system. Perhaps you downloaded FreeBSD instead of linux?

I started to work with exercism yesterday. I want to know how to change a submitted solution ... I have just submitted a wrong solution and I want to change it but I can't ...
Victor Goff
@kotp
Good question. If you submitted a file, but then want to change that solution, you can submit that file again, with the changes in it. It will create a new "iteration tab".
This is actually pretty much the normal workflow.
Hopefully you will want to change the solution most of the time after having submitted the initial one. Very few of us post perfect first submissions.

@fazizkhani
Thank you ... I submitted again and it changed

Good day.

I've just started using exercism and after setting it up and writing the hello world code in PHP, the unit test wouldn't open test file for some reason or submit the file as per instructions given on the page. Is it that I'm doing something wrong? :S

Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
What do you mean by "test won't open test file"? Is there any error message you see?
@wwwzxc :point_up_2:
wwwzxc
@wwwzxc
Cannot open file "hello-world/hello-world-test.php".
that would be the error message
when I try to run this -> ./phpunit.phar hello-world/hello-world_test.php
Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
What is the command that causes that error and what is your working directory when you call that command?
wwwzxc
@wwwzxc
the working directory is hello-world folder where the hello-world.php is located, same as test file
although Im very new to coding, so I might not understand correctly what you are asking ;x
Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
So if you are already in hello-world folder, why telling phpunit.phar to run a level deeper when that file should be at the same level? ./phpunit.phar hello-world_test.php
wwwzxc
@wwwzxc
genius man :D
I kinda copy-pasted the line from instructions and didn't think about it
now it works!
could you also explain how to upload the solution properly? as if I copy this line : exercism submit /path/to/file [/path/to/file2 ...]
Im not sure what I actually suppose to write in the command
not good with these paths yet
Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
exercism submit <filename>
whereas the filename has to be relative to where you are…
Understanding how pathes work is important…
wwwzxc
@wwwzxc
finally it worked! Thanks for your help!

Hope you can help: I typed in "exercism configure --token=..." into my command window (right after: C:\Users\user>) and I got "'exercism' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file." as the error message. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
Have you correctly installed exercism? And which way did you follow? Manual or automatic installer?

Hi, have issues in configuring newly installed exercism

when I run, "exercism configure --token=acb453f1-44bc-4aee-8ea6-54d569ff64c4" getting an error that "Error: The base API URL 'https://api.exercism.io/v1' cannot be reached.

Get https://api.exercism.io/v1/ping: dial tcp: lookup api.exercism.io: no such host"

Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
@pkmariya please visit https://exercism.io/my/settings and reset your token there, please make sure it never leaks again, its like a password.
Now your actual problem, it seems your DNS can't resolve api.exercism.io, are you probably behind a proxy?
Mariya
@pkmariya
Thanks Norbert. I have reset my token. thanks for pointing out.
Yes @NobbZ , I'm trying this from office and probably that's the reason. my office firewall might have restricted it.

Good day ... when I submit a solution in Independent mode tracks even if my solution was wrong I will see " Well done on solving this exercise!" ... is any way to check my solution in Independent mode?
Norbert Melzer
@NobbZ
@fazizkhani you run the tests locally.
There is currently no server side check.
Some tracks are working on supporting server side checks and AFAIR the feature is planned to enter beta during October.
fatemeh azizkhani
@fazizkhani
then I must use mentored mode for checking my solutions?
