Manual Testing against Exercism

To test your changes while doing everyday Exercism work you can build using the following instructions. Any name may be used for the binary (e.g. testercism) - by using a name other than exercism you can have different profiles under ~/.config and avoid possibly damaging your real Exercism submissions, or test different tokens, etc.

On Unices:

  • cd /path/to/the/development/directory/cli && go build -o testercism ./exercism/main.go
  • ./testercism -h

On Windows:

  • cd /d \path\to\the\development\directory\cli
  • go build -o testercism.exe exercism\main.go
  • testercism.exe —h
