Closed ErikSchierboom closed 5 months ago

ErikSchierboom commented 5 months ago

Sync the scrabble-score exercise with the latest data, as defined in https://github.com/exercism/problem-specifications/tree/main/exercises/scrabble-score.

Feel free to close this PR if there is another PR that also syncs this exercise.
When approved, feel free to merge this PR yourselves (you don't have to wait for me).

As this PR only updates docs and/or metadata, it won't trigger a re-run of existing solutions (see the docs).

re appveyor, i've written to Simon Sobisch (@gitmensch) but haven't heard from him. Shall try again.

I don't see how that is related? Please point me to the discussion about this and I should answer there.

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/GitMensch/gnucobol-3-x-win32-posix/artifacts/gnucobol-3.2-dev-MinGW-binaries%20(debug).zip?job=Environment:%20BUILD_TYPE=MSYS,%20BUILD_BIN=C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin' -OutFile ~\gnucobol-3.2-dev.zip @requestOpts

3.2 is long out of dev but we're still trying to download it.

It's why one part of the CI consistently fails

Ah, then it is likely best to take the official 3.2 packages instead - either the MSYS2 one (pacman -S gnucobol) or the 3.2 MinGW binaries (similar to the package you have, but better): https://arnoldtrembley.com/GnuCOBOL.htm

... or, keep the dev snapshot. You'll always find the URL here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucobol/files/gnucobol/nightly_snapshots/ - but as it is now, this may fais, because the artifacts timed out (expires after 30 days), the Appveyor environment is broken (like it currently is for Mingw and Cygwin32) or there are actual failures and no working artifact from the last 30 days.

Thank you, sir. @ErikSchierboom how do we proceed from here?

ErikSchierboom commented 5 months ago

You'll need to update https://github.com/exercism/cobol/blob/main/.github/workflows/test-windows.yml to work with one of the suggested files above. Probably one of https://arnoldtrembley.com/GnuCOBOL.htm
