Your friend could have viewed the kata without it being published. If you have the link, you can see it ( you might be able to click through from your profile's list of your kata; I'm not sure ). You can't submit on a Draft kata though.

Any kata published these days had better be really ready for prime time. I don't always agree with that, but not having random tests will get it retired much more often than not in minutes rather than hours, and I can't really disagree with that. Exceedingly few kata get away with not having random tests, and I think it's mentioned three separate times in that creating-your-first-kata documentation.

Anyway, no point in keeping this issue open now. You'll have to make another your-first-kata; retirement is not reversible.

Basic random tests are not hard. Read up, give it another go!

Thanks for the help with this.

I wanted my friend to have a look at the kata and had a train to catch, so published it without finalising it.

I'm suprised, but very appreicative of how quickly I received feedback on the kata, and will be making the changes you suggested.

You had mistakes in the Example Tests. These are hard to test, which is why you should absolutely test them, either with Go To -> Trainer, or by copying / pasting them into the Test Cases.

FIFY.

Missing random tests.

This will make people vote down your kata, and it runs a real risk of being retired. This being you first kata is not an excuse. Did you read the available documentation on creating your first kata?
