oserr.nim(94)            raiseOSError
Error: unhandled exception: Permission denied
Additional info: "/mnt/c/Users/bugma/Dropbox/ExercismV3/vbnet/.problem-specifications/.github/workflow-tests" [OSError]kflow-tests" [OSError]

[ee7]

Thanks for the report. I'll investigate.

[ee7]

I can't reproduce this.

The final y answers the prompt for the last test case in leap, so at that moment configlet tries to write to

/mnt/c/Users/bugma/Dropbox/ExercismV3/vbnet/exercises/practice/leap/.meta/tests.toml

So my first guess is that configlet doesn't have permission to write there on your machine. But it seems like configlet wrote successfully to

/mnt/c/Users/bugma/Dropbox/ExercismV3/vbnet/exercises/practice/all-your-base/.meta/tests.toml

And a problem writing the tests.toml doesn't match the error message:

Additional info: "/mnt/c/Users/bugma/Dropbox/ExercismV3/vbnet/.problem-specifications/.github/workflow-tests" [OSError]kflow-tests" [OSError]

I don't know why the error is talking about the problem-specifications repo, and why that location.

---

Questions:

1. Was the tests.toml file for leap written as expected?
2. While configlet was prompting, did you make any manual changes in the local problem-specifications repo or the local track repo?
3. What happens if you run the same command again?
4. Does configlet --version produce this output?

Answers:

1. I believe so.
2. I don't think so.
3. The last two times I ran it I was on my Ubuntu (Focal) laptop and it ran fine. When I encountered the error I was on my Windows laptop running WSL (Ubuntu Focal).
4. Yes
