Location of exported file not clear #5805

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

In the User Guide it is mentioned that after using the export command, you can find the file under exports folder in your home folder.

However when I ran the command, the path location I got was something like this:

Export.png

So in the User Guide, what is the home folder has not been specified. Maybe through an example or screenshot in the User Guide, the path location can be explained a bit more clearly.

I had a very tough time finding the exported file since I was specifically looking for the name - 'home' folder since it was italicised also.

Team's Response

The reason why your data files was saved to that location was because you double clicked on the .jar file. If you followed the PE instructions here, you are supposed to run java -jar <filename> which will actually result in the export folder created in the folder your .jar file is at.

Following the steps given in the PE instructions, we are not able to reproduce this bug.

Home folder was also specified already in the setting up section. In the worst case, the command result of 'export' outputs the exact filepath for you to copy and paste into your file explorer.

Either way, our group also argues that this bug is not related to the quality of the documentation.
