Re: [rules-users] Sudoku example doesn't work in drools 5.1
i'd like to see sudoku redone, the example we have at the moment is
terrible. in that it uses a different salience per rule to drive it,
which is very bad practice.
Any takers for a more robust sudoku example, that demonstrates best
practice?

sudoku example in Drools 5.1 is not working correctly.
drools version: 5.1.1
Although the fix in "Bug in Sudoku Example - with fix" (not
(PossibleCellValue( row == $row, value == $value ) || ResolvedCellValue( row
== $row, value == $value) ) ) can fix the problem, I don't understand why
rule #6, rule #7 and rule #8 are fired before rule #3, rule #4 and rule #5
even through rules #3, #4 and #5 have higher salience. If rules #3, #4 and
#5 have been fired first as expected, then PossibleCellValue with same value
as ResolvedCellValue should have been retracted (so there is no need to
check against ResolvedCellValue in rules #6, #7 and #8)
Does it mean that salience will not be always followed strictly during
runtime? Or it is an issue to be fixed in 5.2?
I understand that dependence on salience is discouraged, however without it,
extra condition is required.
