Strange :slight_smile:, why :
0 directories
1 directory
2 directories

 ?

I asked him in the comment room. :grimacing:

#4

Yup, like said to nicola in the comment section, I wanted to be the closest as possible of the Tree’s behaviour, and the original Tree seems to not handle the “0” :stuck_out_tongue:

#5

That is actually correct English


There are no people in the room.
There is one person in the room.
There are two people in the room.

Hi all,
seems like I cannot pass 08 Hidden Files w/o -a Validator.
Can anybody give me a clue what is the difference compared to other tests?

Thanks :smiley:

There is really nothing special about the Validator 8 compared to other tests. :confused:

If you want to DM me your code, I can try to figure out what’s going on.

I can’t pass the Error Handling tests.

Even hardcoding the output doesn’t help me pass.

I output “Directory3 [error opening dir]” but the validator fails the test saying:

Échec
Trouvé : Rien
Attendu : 0

(sorry it seems to be a mix of French and English)
If I hardcode printing a ‘0’ after that line, it fails saying it wasn’t waiting for anything (Attendu: Rien).

I don’t understand at all what is wrong with my output
 Any help as to what I’m doing wrong?

Got the very same Problem. are you using Java, too?

#11

Nope I’m using Python (2.7)

#12

Note that I pass every single test except the Error handling ones.
The problem description is not detailed enough on those cases I’d say.

#13

If you look at the test case, you will see that the expected output is:

Directory3 [error opening dir]

0 directories, 0 files

Thanks player_one.

I found a bug in the validators for the puzzle. Number 15 expects:
“0 directories”
which is clearly inconsistent with the rest of the error cases (13,14) which expect:
“0 directories, 0 files”

Simlarly validator 10 (Directory flag test) expects:
“3 directories”
with no “files” part! Another inconsistency


#15

Ignore this: For anyone with the same issue, check the input flags to understand the different outputs.

Took some time to work it out though. :smiley:

I am having trouble with Big Validator 1 (the last validator in the submission). My code passes all of the tests and all of the other validators, but not that one.

I read through the instructions a little more carefully and noticed that (as far as I can tell) it could be possible to have different directories of the same name if they were at a different depth so I changed my code to handle that case (unless I have an error in the changes, but I think it is correct). That was the only rule I noticed that wasn’t addressed in the test cases and seemed like a potential problem with my code. So now I don’t know what to try to fix the last validator.

Can anyone point me in a useful direction?

Maybe an issue about your tree printing ?

Since it’s the last folder to check in with some depths in it, maybe you’re printing a pipe instead of a space somewhere.
I can just tell you that the big validator is mostly testing the program logic, the tree printing and especially (like said above) the depth printing in the last folder checked.

I hope that helped you :stuck_out_tongue:

#19

I guess it is sort of helpful, but given that it passes all of the other tests and validators I am still a bit at a loss as to what the problem could be. Presumably some edge case that didn’t get tested anywhere else


#20

Maybe a problem with the ordering of file names. The ordering should be 0, 1, 2, 
, 9, a, A, b, B, c, C,
