Re: Try Beam Katas Today
I have no problem accessing Katas when I'm in IntelliJ IDEA, or in
PyCharm. But, I would expect - with edutools plugin - expect to be able to
use the Katas from GoLand. Currently not able to do that. Has anyone had
successes accessing Go Katas from GoLand? Perhaps I am doing something
strange?

Re: Try Beam Katas Today
Posted by Austin Bennett <wh...@gmail.com>.
No error --
With Edutools installed, and trying to get available courses it appears to
search and never find anything.
Probably an issue with my installation in this case, and not with Katas (Go
Katas do load fine from IntelliJ, which is why I thought strange
behavior). Once I debug, if I wind up solving, will report back here.

You should be able to run it from GoLand with the EduTools plugin installed.
What kind of issue that you encountered?
Can you share the error?
