Does anyone TDD hackerrank/leetcode/interview coding questions?

[LeoColman]

I do

[LeoColman]

But actually because I TDD everything, so It's easy for me to TDD an interview question

[tenprint]

is environment ever an issue? e.g. you won't know if their environment has JUnit 4 or JUnit 5 or Hamcrest or AssertJ,etc etc

[LeoColman]

Environment is sometimes an issue, yes. My last code interview, for the place I work for today, we used cyberdojo and Kotlintest + Kotlin

[LeoColman]

It had Kotlintest 2.2. It's now almost at 4.0

[LeoColman]

And I had no clue on how the syntax worked for that version

[LeoColman]

I had to improvise and write tests using
// this is my test

[tenprint]

Environment is sometimes an issue, yes.

For this reason, it seems a bit risky to me
I have failed interviews for running out of time more than once.

[LeoColman]

I did have to improvise, yes, but in my experience, it was never that kind of thing that got candidates cut out from the process. For this company I work, we don't care that the person is confused for 30 minutes on how to make a test run. We care that they can't find the minimum element of an array for 40 minutes, even after understanding how the environment works

[tenprint]

That's good that your company is like that. Many are not and will fail you for running out of time/not getting a completed, compiling program

The TDD in AS is super slow

[Eugen Martynov]

At least for me - it takes seconds to create method by alt enter or run the test
