Cond evaluation failing on LogLevel exercise

Hi, I’m learning Elixir by doing Exercism courses. I’m on the LogLevel exercise that has to do with Atoms and Cond, I’ve been pulling my hair out over the failing test for a cond evaluation.

Here’s the issue, in the code snippet below, if the log level is 0 and the legacy? is false, it should return an atom of :trace, otherwise it should return an atom of :unknown. The tests for the two lines that have an and operator in the cond evaluation are failing and i don’t know why. I pasted the code in my local editor and there were no errors, I’m confused. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

defmodule LogLevel do
  def to_label(level, legacy?) do
    # Please implement the to_label/2 function
  cond do 
    (level === 0 and legacy? == false) -> :trace 
    level === 1 -> :debug
    level === 2 -> :info
    level === 3 -> :warning
    level === 4 -> :error
    (level === 5 and legacy? == false) -> :fatal
    true -> :unkown
  end    
  end

  def alert_recipient(level, legacy?) do
    # Please implement the alert_recipient/2 function

  end
end

Not sure about the rest because I don’t remember the exercise but you have a typo here.

:unkown:unknown

Static typing still gives you error messages you have to correctly understand to find the error; for instance, the failing test for this exercise:

https://github.com/exercism/elixir/blob/3231f6ce81662a3e03e6173195390978c71b417d/exercises/concept/log-level/test/log_level_test.exs#L8

will fail on the assert LogLevel.to_label(0, true) == :unknown line with a message:

  1) test LogLevel.to_label/1 level 0 has label trace only in a non-legacy app (LogLevelTest)
     test/log_level_test.exs:6
     Assertion with == failed
     code:  assert LogLevel.to_label(0, true) == :unknown
     left:  :unkown
     right: :unknown
     stacktrace:
       test/log_level_test.exs:8: (test)

True, but let’s not forget that somebody has to make this proper test. This is a fact in this exercise but it’s not always a fact in the commercial projects.

The woes of dynamic languages. :man_shrugging: Elixir is fantastic but Rust would have yelled at you on the first compilation.

Glad that you are unblocked!
