Write code that is not student-facing content (e.g. test-runners, generators, but not exercises)
Some exercises consist of more than one file in the
src/main/java
folder, and some of them are designed to be read-only files. These are marked as such in the exercise's.meta/config.json
file, because they should be listed in thefiles.editor
list.For example, the configuration for the
wizards-and-warriors-2
exercise lists the following files as read-only:src/main/java/Character.java
src/main/java/Destination.java
src/main/java/TravelMethod.java
The goal of this issue is to make sure that read-only files are never processed by the analyzer.
In most cases processing these files may not introduce any issues, but just in case one of them contains code that triggers an analyzer comment we should skip them by default. If not, a student may receive feedback on a file that they did not write and cannot edit, which is just confusing.
