Upgrading while learning in progress about pskoans HOT 5 CLOSED

I figured 😂

Yeah, most of that was completely my fault, and I should have held the release until I was absolutely sure I'd got everything lined up properly 😄

Shouldn't happen again (™️)

I don't think it'll really be feasible to upgrade files in all stages like you describe, not without maintaining a versioned list of every koan file in its blank state to compare user files to directly. Even then, it would probably be overly complex at best, and liable to fail.

I think a best-effort approach here is really the best we can reasonably offer, where any newly-added koans can be copied over without touching any existing files in the user's folder. But I'm open to any suggestions or a proof of concept, of course! 😄

That's totally fair. Perhaps some kind of warning or language somewhere so newbies can avoid troubleshooting a botched upgrade that they shouldn't have taken on?

from pskoans.

In what sense? Unless the user explicitly opts to Measure-Karma -Reset they won't be afflicted by updates unless something fundamental in the koan file format changes.

If you just mean a simple warning / confirmation that it might occasionally break something on the Update-PSKoanUserFiles or whatever we name it command, yeah, absolutely will do. 😄

I'm just remembering when I went from 0.41.0 to whatever was newest then, that everything 'sploded. I'd hate for a noob to hit the same issue.
