Hello!
I started some work for supporting Scala 3 in test runner: Scala 3 support by grzegorz-bielski · Pull Request #55 · exercism/scala-test-runner · GitHub
It’s fully working with the provided test cases, but I suspect we also need to port the actual exercises.
If you don’t mind I can do it next.
Cheers
There’s an open draft PR in progress for updating the exercises to Scala 3. It might be worth checking if its something you could help to with.
That’s lovely! Thanks a lot.
It is indeed worth checking. However, should it not be useful, feel free to open another PR, as that PR has been stale for a very long time.
I think I’ll start with a new PR, it’d be easier that way.
I have one question though; test generators like BobTestGenerator are referencing files like src/main/resources/bob.json. I suspect this is the same file as in: problem-specifications/exercises/bob/canonical-data.json at main · exercism/problem-specifications · GitHub
I couldn’t find how those files are fetched and generators are run, is it done only manually before submitting each PR with a new exercises, or is there some CI job that executes that I am missing?
That sounds plausible, as the canonical-data.json file is the source to generate tests from.
I also couldn’t find anything about how the track handles it, so you’re free to handle this as you’d like. One approach is to directly download the file, another is to use configlet. If you run:
configlet info -v d
It’ll output the cache directory it uses:
Using cached 'problem-specifications' dir: /Users/erik/Library/Caches/exercism/configlet/problem-specifications
Thanks @ErikSchierboom !

Hello again @ErikSchierboom !
PR for test runner and exercises are done, is there anything else needed to merge them?
I have little time this week, but I’ll get back to you!
Both PRs have been merged!
Hey, so what’s the status of Scala 3 support? In the intro video to the Scala track, it says Scala 3 is not supported in exercism. Is that correct? As someone new to Scala, am I going to be learning the wrong syntax if I go through the exercism Scala track, or does it not really matter?
