Groovy Translation

I'm pretty open for changes on this translation since it may not be 100% the same as in the Python translation

Improved Java translation

From a glance:

• Missing assertion messages in sample and fixed tests

• Adding unnecessary code block to description, which creates potential of merge conflicts for other published translations.

• Lack of test coverage and edge cases (refer to the issues raised in this kata) and also picking sub-sections of an email from a given collection of items is not so random

You can also see there are a lot of translations pending, which is associated with the point mentioned earlier. ^^

Is there a problem or are there multiple problems with the Java translation or why is it not being merged?

There is mistake bcz he never mentioned that there will be invalid url which is basically dfkljasidjfosdj.com. So instructions unclear and kata should be fixed to avoid confusions

I would've solved this had I know that the only possible subdomain is "www".

Description not detailed enough. It should be clarified that www is the only subdomain and http(s):// the only protocol being tested against.

Current solutions will not work reliably for most real-world URL's.

Here are some url-patterns that should also be tested:

• https://dev.google.com/
• https://sub.dev.google.com/
• smb://sub.dev.google.co.en/?someParameter=value
• ftp://sub.dev.google.co.en:21/?someParameter=value

The wording of the description is confusing as it actually wants a hostname returned, not a domain name. Aditionally, I encountered issues around the .co.za TLD

How is this an issue though? (Its just a miswording not an issue, the problem tells you what you need to do, so just do it or find other problems if you aren't satisfied with that detail).

hey, I'm getting this error (first letter of sime tests being left out)
'yphen-site' should equal 'hyphen-site'
does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be in my code?

If this kata is to be an exercise in regular expressions, its description should be updated to indicate that it is not looking for the actual domain in the URL, only a kind of approximation to it.

Because practically every solution that is currently accepted is incorrect--when using a more accurate definition of "domain".

For example, most solutions seem to hardcode "www." as being the only possible (optional) sub-domain. So that given the URL "subdomain.domain.tld", many solutions would return "subdomain" as the domain. And given the URL "nested.subdomain.domain.co.uk", many solutions would return "nested" as the domain.

I scrolled through a few ~pages of solutions, and not one of them would be able to accurately return the domain in those cases. Even the solution I submitted is not complete.

I understand the intent of the kata as an exercise for regular expressions, but it should be updated to reflect the fact that isn't actually looking for a proper domain (unless my definition of domain is different from everyone else's).

The function domainName should only have one argument. The domain name is the solution you have to return.

showing your code is not a suggestion. you are not supposed to reveal code / methods to others that haven't solved the kata yet, anyway. so, that's why your comment is spoilered. a suggestion is intended for when you have an idea on how to improve the kata

you must use the given function name

(so, yes, your code)

not a kata issue
