My program doesn’t have a line 137. There is no indication about what “test.cob” is.

I don’t have a concrete solution for this, but I have an idea brewing. In the next few days, I’ll have a look at the test runner.

It happens to be Bob, but the test runner reports error line numbers from that .cob file for every exercise.

The test runner should map that line to the corresponding line in the solution file. That should be pretty straightforward.
