Shared metadata for Exercism exercises. The doc/ subdirectory contains all documentation that is not specific to a language track.

Please see the contributing guide

Each problem can have a file .json containing standard test data. This data can be incoporated into test programs manually or extracted by a program. The file contains a single JSON object with a key for documentation and keys for various tests that may be meaningful for a problem.

The documentation uses the key "#" with a list of strings as the value. These strings document how the problem readme (<problem>.md) is generally interpreted in test programs across different languages. In addition to a mainstream implementation path, this information can also document significant variations.

Each test case has the the following keys: description: which will be used to name each generated test 'variable names': one or more variable names with values which will be passed to the solution method expected: the expected result (this would be -1 when we expect an exception) msg: a nice message for the failing case

The only thing that we're testing at the moment, is whether or not shared test data is valid json.

If you want to run this before you commit, you will need to install jq. Then run the script with:

bin/jsonlint
