Forgive me if I am missing something obvious, but I don't quite understand how the underscores are making your tests fail. The compiler removes them. It is only syntactic sugar for us humans who are bad at parsing long sequences of numbers. Would you be able to provide an example of how these are making your tests fail?
iex(1)> 100_000_002 == 100000002 true iex(2)> 100_000_002 = 100000002 100000002 iex(3)> quote do 100_000_002 end 100000002 # This test passes test "underscores in numbers" do assert 100_000_002 = 100000002 end Justin Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On 27 April 2018 2:01 PM, Onorio Catenacci <catena...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Saturday, April 21, 2018 at 4:06:45 AM UTC-4, Allen Wyma wrote: > >> First of all, I'd like to say thanks so much for the elixir formatter.
