"Testing" filter does not work as expected

[plata]

An app with the following json is not shown

"compatibleOperatingSystems": [],
"testingOperatingSystems": ["LINUX"],

However, it is shown if the json looks like this:

"compatibleOperatingSystems": ["LINUX"],
"testingOperatingSystems": ["LINUX"],

[qparis]

This is a normal behavior

[plata]

Why?

[qparis]

Compatible means that the program will appear in the list Testing means that the user will be warned that that the scripts might not be working correctly. The two fields are totally disconnected so we can imagine putting a third option later

[plata]

I still don't understand it. How should the json look like for an app which is "testing" on "LINUX"?

[madoar]

I just remembered, that compatibleOperatingSystems is covered and used by FilterRepository. If we want to add a checkbox that disables the check for a compatible os, we would need to move the responsibility from FilterRepository to the ApplicationFilter.

[plata]

Ok. So "testingOperatingSystems" has to be a subset of "compatibleOperatingSystems". If this is the case, we should update https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/Scripts/wiki/script.json.

[plata]

@qparis can you confirm that this is correct (i.e. we should specify the OS in both "compatibleOperatingSystems" and "testingOperatingSystems")?

[qparis]

Yes,

• If the current operating system is not in CompatibleOperatingSystem, the app should not be seen.
• TestingOperatingSystem is a subset of CompatibleOperatingSystem

compatible.contains("LINUX") && testing.contains("LINUX") => App compatible with Linux, but may not work properly compatible.contains("LINUX") && !testing.contains("LINUX") => app fully compatible !compatible.contains("LINUX") => app not compatible with Linux at all

I have updated https://github.com/PlayOnLinux/Scripts/wiki/script.json accordingly.
