@huangqun can we add this to the bug bounty? I would like that in the challenge phase to allow only one test case to be selected, if the user selects a different one, clear the fist selection.

Thanks!

for challenging, we can have multiple testing, but it can be considered as multiple challenges, and competitors will be scoredown much more.

@mdesiderio @skyhit I think this is by design... why would we want to support multiple tests being submitted at once for a challenge? Also, logically how would it work - if the first test succeeds in breaking the code what do we do with the second test?

@skyhit @delemach @huangqun

Let me clarify, I don't think it makes sense to run multiple tests in the challenge phase as the functionality is today, but as it is, you CAN select multiple test cases, but when you run them it gives you a message saying you should select only one.

The fix I am proposing is to improve this UX, kind of making the checkboxes behave like radio buttons (without changing the UI), i.e. allowing only one item to be selected at a time during challenge. If you try to select 2 items, the first one will be cleared.

Make sense?

[skyhit]

@mdesiderio @delemach @huangqun if so, I think we'd better change to use radio buttons.

@mdesiderio Every test case has a Run button beside it, so maybe we could remove the checkboxes completly.
