In the testing section, it is instructed to double click the app, while it doesn't work for some cases. Better to change to java -jar image.png

Team's Response

Thanks for the feedback. It appears to be a system security issue rather than an issue with the jar. Furthermore, the name of the jar in the screenshot is different from the original.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue response

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: I changed the name of the file for it to be easily identifiable in the terminal. It is the same final version the team submitted for the final PE. The name of the file does not affect the execution because it runs well if I do java -jar. Also, if I change the filename back to its origin one, it still can not be opened by double click. image.png

Double click faces a system security issue for most of the Mac devices. It is not rare and should be further explained in the DG. If most Mac users face the same issue even when trying to launch your app, this is a quite serious issue. Moreover, using java -jar to launch the jar file should be the most optimized way and should be mentioned in the DG.

Therefore, instead of rejecting this issue, I would say that there is a possibility to mark this issue as NotInScope because the testers from CS2103T knows using java -jar to launch the application. But I disagree with the team's argument that this is not an issue, because if this product is published and developers begin to actually testing it, they might face problems launching the app. At least, there should be a notice for Mac users that their double click might not work and provide them with some other choices for launching the app.
