I agree. It's hard to fix bugs for test cases you can't read.

Just had a look at the random tests, they are fine. Care to share your code? Mark it as having spoiler content, though. You can also ask here.

I have created a gravatar account with the very same email address, uploaded a picture, but i still see the default pic here at codewars. What am i missing?

Is there a way to see what my code is being tested against when i click on 'Submit'?

I get errors out of the blue at different katas. Would be great to see the test code snippet belonging to each kata.

Yea, realized it meanwhile.. Regarding array manipulation, do you mean if i manipulated the input array of minMax method? Nope.

You're aware that there are two kinds of tests? Those you can see, and those that are hidden. Note that I didn't write the Java version, so I'm not sure what's going on there. That being said, do you manipulate the array?

Thank you! Now i see what i did wrong.

I'm not a Java developer myself (someone else must've done the translation). But I'm guessing the message is highlighting the incorrect parts.

So the "a" with swuare brackets around it should be a "1" instead. Hope that helps?

Test runs are passing. However just as with some other katas i get arbitrary, not-helpful failure message when i try to submit.

expected:<...m8c: mat'the; mat, s[a]t> but was:<...m8c: mat'the; mat, s[1]t>

I mean, im just learning java and i get errors out of the blue...
Any idea how can i skip this? Or how to solve if it cannot be skipped?
