Cannot double-click to open the jar file #2916

Open nus-se-script opened 23 hours ago

In multiple places, the DG implies that the application can be opened by double-clicking the jar file (one example below).

However, this is not true and is quite misleading to any potential testers of the application.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open up the folder where the jar file is located
  2. Double-click the jar file

Expected: Application opens up

Actual: Error message shows up OR nothing happens (more common).

OS: MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1 Java version (copied from terminal):

Team's Response

It's possible for one to open the application via double click depending on the user's settings. However, the instruction of the module which specifically states that you should use the java -jar command to launch the app. This should at most be a documentation bug of low severity as we did not match the instruction to launch an app with the module's instruction. This will likely only cause inconvenience to individuals who didn't adhere to the module instruction, using the Mac OS and does not have the correct privacy settings, which we believe is a extremely small group of people.
