[BUG]: Tic-Tac-Toe part 1 - Lesson 8 - anchor test

[gikf]

Issue/Experience

I've encountered couple troubles with using anchor test during lesson 8.

1. error[E0658]: let...else statements are unstable

Starting from a freshly rebuild container, compilation was ending up with error

$ anchor test

error: could not compile `solana-frozen-abi-macro` due to previous error
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...

Following found suggestion I've checked solana version (it was 1.14.something) and updated it with solana-install init v1.16.0. This allowed to finish compilation.

2. missing keys in ~/.config/solana/id.json

Once compiling was done, next issue appeared to be missing solana keys (I haven't noted the specific error). I've assumed main issue here was using clean container, so I've used solana-keygen new which created new keys.

This allowed for running actual test.

3. anchor test test is passing (but lesson expects it to not pass)

At this point test is running. Lesson is expecting test to fail with the failed to send transaction error. However, the test is not failing for me, but happily passes.

It's very possible steps taken here by me were not the ones that should be taken, to fix the original issue, while keeping the output of the lesson as expected.
