This script is useful for testing exercises against a test runner.

1 of the 112 exercises currently fail, when using a downloaded exercism/phix-test-runner:latest

Verifying circular-buffer exercise...
circular-buffer: testing...
circular-buffer: done
{
 "version":1,
 "status":"fail",
 "message":" 21 tests run, 21 passed, 0 failed, 100% success
/usr/local/bin/builtins/pfile.e:272
        atom buffer = allocate(buflen), pbuf = buffer
             ^Warning: assumed to be a variable_id, not a type"
}

A without warning in test.exw should (hopefully) fix that, pushed just now.
Just in case, there's also two alternative "include first" and "make it circular_buffer" fixes in there as well now.

[keiravillekode]

All 112 exercises now pass.

I was curious about a couple of things.

• Have you considered moving your http://phix.x10.mx server to https ? There may be untrustworthy governments and/or ISPs between your server and your users.

• What tasks remain before inviting other tracks' maintainers to test https://exercism.org/tracks/phix in preparation for launching the track?

[petelomax]

https has long been on my todo list, and somewhat "ain't broke don't fix" to me.
Syntax colouring still doesn't work. Otherwise I've given up all hope of ever moving the Phix track along another inch.
There is nothing else I can do or try, my hands are completely tied. Oh, the representer's kaput too.

I think of this as a "nice to have"

I would just look for a supported language that has similar syntax / tokens / vocabulary

8th/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "plaintext"

cairo/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "rust"

cfml/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "javascript"

factor/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "forth"

free-pascal/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "delphi"

idris/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "haskell"

lean/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "haskell"

lfe/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "lisp"

purescript/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "haskell"

racket/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "scheme"

raku/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "perl"

rexx/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "plaintext"

roc/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "elm"

sqlite/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "pgsql"

unison/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "haskell"

vlang/config.json:    "highlightjs_language": "golang"

Oh, the representer's kaput too.

config.json has "representer": false so that won't cause problems.

A representer is another "nice to have"

Compared to the 82 launched tracks, there are only the 31 representer repos below; only 19 tracks have "representer": true in config.json

  - c-representer
  - clojure-representer
  - common-lisp-representer
  - cpp-representer
  - crystal-representer
  - csharp-representer
  - elixir-representer
  - elm-representer
  - emacs-lisp-representer
  - erlang-representer
  - fsharp-representer
  - gleam-representer
  - go-representer
  - haxe-representer
  - j-representer
  - jai-representer
  - java-representer
  - javascript-representer
  - julia-representer
  - nim-representer
  - phix-representer
  - php-representer

BTDT. You can find codemirror/highlightjs/pygments doobries here:

If you can tell me why the phix-representer that's already in that list don't work, and what I can do about it...

[keiravillekode]

I am simply a volunteer who maintains some other tracks, and was curious about the status of some unlaunched tracks. I am working on the Factor track.

I have never dealt with highlightjs but I think you need to make an npm and then post on the Exercism forum, and then you'll need to wait, I don't know how long.

Some threads I cam across:

https://forum.exercism.org/t/jq-syntax-highlighting/10585/5
https://forum.exercism.org/t/enabling-unison-specific-syntax-highlighting-for-our-exercism-track/2628/3

I have never dealt with representers.
