Spurious test "Failure" on Elixir track exercise

Exercism Support

There appears to be a file permission problem involving the /tmp/ directory which has caused my submissions for the Bob exercise to fail erroneously. I spoke with ety5297 about it and he claims that all tests pass successfully via his account, as they also do locally on my dev machine. Hopefully you can look into the situation and correct whatever has malfunctioned.

Thanks for creating an excellent product. I’m really enjoying the lessons and exercises, and learning loads. It’s quickly become part of my daily routine and will likely remain so.

I’d suggest submitting a new iteration. The Elixir test runner was upgraded to 1.18 yesterday, but the upgrade introduced that bug. The track was rolled back to 1.17 a few hours ago so it should hopefully work for you now.

@BNAndras is correct, the tests should now run, please retry. If the issue persists, there is also something else going on. Please report back

Thank you both. That seems to have done the trick.
