RobotName exercise test problem

[stt106]

I submitted a solution and got this on the editor:

We received the following error when we ran your code:
/mnt/exercism-iteration/Tests/RobotNameTests/RobotNameTests.swift:41:13: warning: variable 'robot' was never mutated; consider changing to 'let' constant

This appears to be a problem with the test code rather than my own code.

Also, when I tried with a different submission using String.padding it says String has no member padding which doesn't sound right.

Thank you for filing this. Making a note here so that it more directly alerts me when activity occurs.

@stt106 Would you be willing to submit a PR? The code can be found here: https://github.com/exercism/swift/blob/main/exercises/practice/robot-name/Tests/RobotNameTests/RobotNameTests.swift#L41

There is nothing critical here, it's just a warning, not an error.

About String.padding: you need to import Foundation.

@2Grey I know it's a warning but the online editor considers it as an error and blocks my submission.

Maybe a screenshot is clearer:

Will try when time allows.

I have rewritten the swift test runner, if you are seeing this output (after 13 of June 2023) let me know, and another rewrite is in progress with Swift 6 support
