Sporadic, spurious "One of the tests timed out" errors using `exercism` CLI #6697

Closed ntc2 closed 1 year ago

ntc2 commented 1 year ago

I'm new to Exercism, doing the Rust track, using the exercism command line tool to submit my solutions. I've done 6 exercises so far -- perhaps 15 iterations total -- and twice I've gotten the "One of the tests timed out" error, and both times resubmitting my code (semantically) unchanged passes all tests with no timeouts. So, I'm getting some kind of random timeout error, for code that should not be timing out.

Related, the exercism CLI won't let me resubmit a syntactically unchanged solution, so I have to insert meaningless white space (or whatever syntactic tweak that doesn't affect semantics) in order to resubmit the "timed out" solutions, which is annoying.

My Exercism username is ntc2, and one of the spurious timeout is for my first iteration of the space-age exercise. I can't see how to get a link to that iteration, but I mean this exercise: https://exercism.org/tracks/rust/exercises/space-age.
