Steps to reproduce:

  1. Proceed to DG
  2. Proceed to the section on manual testing
  3. Observe the step on initial launch

Expected: According to the manual testing instructions, when I double click, i am suppose to see the gui.

Actual: I received an error on my end that i can't open this file. Refer to second screenshot.

Suggestion/ Why it is problematic: This instruction is misleading and there isn't other ways of testing the launching the app. Furthermore, this instruction seems to contradict the instruction on using the command java -jar ... set by the course. If I were to not use the command, I might not be able to continue testing the app since I am unable to test it. Hence, I think the severity is medium as it affects testability.

Team's Response

We believe that the user's current MacOS security and privacy settings prevents them from accessing some files.

Future iterations should provide additional guidance on how to allow access to opening the file in all operating systems.
