Hi all, Still working the koans project and am hitting a design snag. My expected UX is that you clone the repo, run racket koans/all.rkt, and then see nothing but failing unit tests for you to fix. But since some exercises have unbound module identifiers <https://github.com/zyrolasting/racket-koans/blob/master/koans/structs.rkt> or related errors, an abort prevents rackunit from printing a full report.
"Well Sage, why don't you write tests that actually *run*?" Great question! But if you look at that linked module you can see what I think is a clear, concise exercise where checking in unbound identifiers seemed reasonable at the time. I wanted someone to see that Racket was generating all of these identifiers and write the corresponding struct definition. After wresting with various combinations of (with-handlers), (check-exn), (fail), (module), and (call/prompt), I found that modules too picky about where they are defined for me to simply catch an unbound identifier error, and I wasn't liking how much noise I might be introducing in the koan itself. I'm starting to think writing these kind of exercises in a friendly way is only possible with macros, but before I go that far, is it possible for me to catch a module-level unbound identifier error and print a rackunit failure outright *without *distracting the student? I'd appreciate feedback on the design here too, since I have to pick a direction to handle this kind of problem project-wide.
