How to allow the use of list slice pattern in online editor

Programming C#
1

With the current featured exercise ‘List Ops’ that encourages recursion I thought it would be handy to use the slice pattern:

Recursive(someVariable, list[1…]);

But I can’t figure out how to get it to work in the online editor. I’m getting a CS1503 error when I try.

Argument 1: cannot convert from 'System.Range' to 'int'

I see a topic further down the list that shows .NET 7 is implemented so that should take care of the Range shorthand […] (C# 8) and the improved patterns in C# 11, right?

I have no issues in VS Code which usually means I forgot one of the standard using statements but System.Collections.Generic is there and I think the rest of the logic is covered in System.

What am I missing?

(Edit: I only used double dots everywhere, that’s not the issue. That’s an auto-correct on the forum, apparently)

Could you link to your full solution?

Heh, you’re very quick!

I just rushed through the exercise to finish it but you should be able to get the gist of it.

Turns out we were still running .NET 7. I’ve just upgraded to .NET 8 (see Support for .NET 8 by ErikSchierboom · Pull Request #215 · exercism/csharp-test-runner · GitHub) which should fix the issue.

Ah, very nice!
Can confirm this works now.

Thanks, Erik!
