Cannot download executeable from exercise solution.

[desdulianto]

Hi, I opened this ticket because @kotp told me that when he downloaded my exercise solution of ruby track rna-transcription, it did not deliver executable file.

Here is the screenshot of the command history when I submitted the solution.

I first submitted the solution when exercism haven't launch the new version yet. And after that I just manually download the exercise as instructed and submit it as usual.

Let me know if you need anything for helping closing the bug.

Thank you very much.

NB. I've learn much from the new mentor feature. Thanks very much exercism and the mentors.

is it because of my version is lagging?

[kotp]

I believe a bug was found, but it does not hurt at all to update the client.

[desdulianto]

Ok, I have upgraded the client and resubmit the solution, it's on 7th iteration now :D

I think we have issues with the -2 suffix. I'm going to dig into this to see if I can figure out what's going on.

[kytrinyx]

I figured out how to reproduce this! Ok. Now I can work on a fix :-)

Reproduction steps:

• download exercise
• delete .solution.json
• download exercise again
• change the solution
• submit it
• download to a different computer

[kytrinyx]

I've made it so that the download command won't add a prefix (#696)

The next step is to ensure that the metadata file won't get clobbered if it's already present: #697

Then we can cut a new release.
