Exercism Page Sometimes Doesn't Update on Submit

Exercism

Sometimes when I submit a solution from the command line, its Exercism page automatically updates, while other times I have to refresh the page first. I just noticed that this behavior is related to another anomaly. That is, when you navigate between pages on the Exercism site, the HTML title sometimes doesn’t update. It’s when the page’s title is out of sync with its contents that the page doesn’t update on its own.

I can confirm, the HTML title not changing happens to me often. Turns out there’s an open issue about it: Page title remains un-updated unless page is refreshed · Issue #6529 · exercism/exercism · GitHub

Sorry, I keep getting confused as to which parts of Exercism issues are intended for GitHub and which are for the forum.

Just an update on this issue then:

Can confirm this is still happening on Firefox 137.0.1 (64-bit) on Linux Mint 22.1.

Unfortunately it creates a couple usability side-effects:

  1. With multiple tabs/windows open, incorrect titles can be confusing.
  2. When I open my browser history to quickly return to something I saw on Exercism, the history entry will take me to something different than its title says.

Everything on the forum if it’s discussion. GitHub purely for (approved) PRs! :slight_smile:

Thanks for confirming the issue is still there. Are you referring specifically to the titles or something wider?

Thanks! I think what threw me was the lack of the bot response to the issue above, but that’s because it was opened before the bot was added. :sweat_smile:

Yes, I meant the titles are still not changing. :heavy_check_mark:
