My mentor has access to a tasks tab that I don’t seem to be able to see.
Safari and Firefox on macOS.
Which tab? Which exercise? Can you share a URL and a screenshot?
So how do I see the tests?
Lasagna is a concept exercise for the Ruby track, so the tests aren’t available in the UI. You can see them here on GitHub.
tasks are part of the instructions, and you should be able to view those to the right-hand side of the code editor. This is what it looks like on my mac, using chrome:
… you need to scroll the instructions section down toward the bottom, and then you can see the tasks:
Tests and tasks are not the same thing 
But also what Bethany said.
Absolutely did not mention tasks tab, but tests tab.
See the Tests tab to see what they are. How they are defined? Can you be more specific what you want to know? We write the tests
Perhaps was autocompletion while writing this subject line.
Strongly recommend developing locally if you are serious about the track exercises. It will reveal more to you than the platform will, while the platform of course provides some conveniences.
If you want to see more and feel more, you will definitely have that happen while doing these locally, and you will have more control (pros and cons t that, of course!).
Shared screenshot for student for an exercise that is not solved (though practice side of things):

Note: picture is meant to be temporary, so will disappear in a few weeks.)
I appreciate everyone’s help here.
Just so we’re all on the same page:
-
Students cannot see the tests in the browser, only if they use the CLI or go looking in a git repo.
-
InstructorsMentors can see the tests in the browser.
I agree developing locally might be the better option.
Students cannot see the tests in the browser, only if they use the CLI or go looking in a git repo.
Correct. Specifically for concept exercises, though. This doesn’t apply to practice exercises.
Instructors can see the tests in the browser.
s/Instructors/Mentors/.
For concept docs? I’m not sure this is correct.

Huh. Yes. You’re correct. Mentors have access to different tabs than the student has.

Okay. I think we’re all set here. I was looking for the tests because something I wrote failed but couldn’t find them.
For most exercises you can actually see the test cases in online editor, but in the beginner exercises they are hidden from you

Aha… good to know. Thank you.

There’s no “beginner” exercises ;) There are concept exercises and practice exercises. The tests are hidden in concept exercises and visible in practice exercises.

For concept exercises, as Lasagna is, yes, on the Ruby track I can see the tests as the mentor, which is why I was surprised that they could not.
see concept exercise docs here.
This is also why the test results in the browser need to include the code run for test, because the student cannot see the test file for concept exercises.
