    Ruby 3.0 should be enabled, read this to learn how to do it

    Please organize the structure of test fixture as following (although it has been mentioned in the attached link, I'm repeated here again)

    describe "<This message should describe the categories of test groups inside this block>" do
  it "<A short message describing this test group>" do
    expect(...).to eq(...) #Assertions
    #Or Test.assert_equals(user_response, reference_response)
  end
end

    Well, the solutions are really cool.

    I'd like to do more Unicode-based kata, as it's important if you want to work in Computational Linguistics

    The error messages are completely terrifying!

    1. So the set of characters to retain has been changed suddenly after 300 kata completions, so many best practices solutions aren't best practices anymore, but they are still there...
    2. The tests should contain different kinds of characters: probably all ASCII, min non-ASCII codepoint, non-ASCII alphabetic...
    • anter69 Avatar

      1. Only the description was updated to say that the instead of A-Za-z0-9.,!? it simply expects ASCII characters. The random tests were not updated, so all the 300 150 existing solutions should work.

      2. You expect too much from a 7 kyu kata, I guess

    • B1ts Avatar

      Up until yesterday, it only had JS version with no random tests, so that pretty much means no tests at all. There were no checks if a character like ':' or any other was present, allowing almost any solution to pass. I wish the author was active, so it would've been his decision to make. It was my understanding that the kata is about extracting printable characters, so limiting it to a smaller subset of characters seemed weird. I don't think there's much harm done here...

      With that said, I do agree with #2.

    • Unnamed Avatar

      Even if it wasn't tested, most people followed the description. In either case, the tests should match the description because with the current description most of the solution voted as best practices are incorrect.

    • B1ts Avatar

      Do you suggest to revert this change?

    • Unnamed Avatar

      I'm not sure. The change isn't ideal, but that specific character set was a bit strange in this context in the first place as well.

    Ruby translation kumited, including slightly modified description -- please check and approve (note: author is inactive)

  • rowcased Avatar

    Interesting idea for a kata. Because it's solvable without actually needing to know anything about Zalgo explicitly (news to me), I suggest you challenge the solver upfront to NOT follow the links. This will make it more fun for some of the newer coders, and if they can't hack it, they can always fall back on the links.

  • B1ts Avatar

    basic punctuation marks (. , ! ?), and spaces ().

    Other characters aren't being tested. Either description needs to change to include all punctuation, or more thorough tests with special characters must be added.

    needs random tests

    (interesting concept, btw, thx)

    Note: might be good to not rely on the external links, about the description.
