robot-name: 1 test failing, how to proceed?
Since not all tests did pass, I cannot ask for help - mentoring is supposed to be for improvements only? So how to proceed?
Possible constraints are not clear. I could imagine a pseudorandom set of all possible permutations and subsequently emit these. This would require a global counter - allowed? Thx, great exercises!

Yes, such a set and counter would be allowed and it's actually close to the recommended solution. If you get it working that way, a mentor can help you figure out how to optimise it.
Other than not using external packages/libraries, pretty much everything is allowed. Some things might not be a good idea for a number of reasons but a mentor would tell you that :)

There are a few options in general:
a) If you're working locally and use the CLI, you can submit the file and request mentoring anyway
b) You can check out community solutions by going to the following URL directly: https://exercism.org/tracks/julia/exercises/robot-name/solutions (this will include spoilers)
Thx, great exercises!
That's nice to hear, thanks :)
I may have missed it, but I didn't see anything saying I may not use packages. Where is this documented? Thanks...
You can make the local tests pass while using third-party packages, but the cloud test-runner that we provide doesn't bundle any third party libraries and doesn't allow your code to talk to the internet, so you can't install any.
Closing because I think this is answered.
