Hi exercists!
Is there a way to obtain name of practice exercise programatically - via configlet? On Pharo track: the name of exercise is generated from slug name, which not always fits to the desired name (replacing dashes with spaces and capitalizing words). Pharo track config.json specific auto-generation causes overwrite of manually modified name entries in config.json (which is unwanted).
I found that problem specifications includes name in exercises/slug-name/metadata.toml on first line, e.g.: title = "OCR Numbers".
I just don’t want to necessarily have dependency on Pharo track on problem-specifications repo, configlet binary should be enough for generating specific metadata files I hope.
Thanks!
Taking my question back. Exercise generator already depends on problem-specifications (constructor expects directory). So I will use metadata.toml title information.

FWIW, this is what most tracks do that need that information 
Right! Fixed title in config.json PR here (I kept existing fallback, for exercises that aren’t regenerated yet): Added title generation from exercise problem specification metadata .… · Bajger/pharo-smalltalk@f698fe2 · GitHub
