Find command for Gifts feature does not work

[eliztan]

When attempting to find a gift, no inputted keyword works and no gifts will pop up, even when inputting the keyword ring that was demonstrated in the UG.

Steps to replicate:

1. Run the find command
2. Type in gift
3. Type in any keyword

Team's Response

(I think you are the same person who raised issues for not being able to accept a gift when users are satisfied with the gift suggestion!) I suspect that there might be some issues in how you run the App which resulted in the GiftList not correctly being initiated? Check in the directory where you put the JAR file in, under the data folder, ensure that GiftList.txt file is within it and not empty. DO NOT change the .txt files as this might lead to unintended consequences! Alternatively, copy the JAR file into a new empty folder, cd into the path of the folder and run java -jar "[CS2113-T11-2][Flirt_and_Fork].jar". Ensure that the GiftList.txt file is within the data folder (and not empty) after first starting the App. The following screenshot should be what will be seen if you run the find command for ring in gifts:

The 'Original' Bug

The Gift function does not work

When attemping to generate a gift idea using any of the gift keywords (gift, gift female, gift male, gift unisex), the only gift option that shows up is "null" unlike what the UG demonstrates.

Steps to replicate:

1. Type in any of the gift commands.

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

Hello! I think you are the same person who wrote several bug reports regarding access issues of the gift function (particularly might be because the database was not correctly initialised on your end), so I'm going to copy-paste my same response: I suspect that there might be some issues in how you run the App which resulted in the GiftList not correctly being initiated? Check in the directory where you put the JAR file in, under the data folder, ensure that GiftList.txt file is within it and not empty. DO NOT change the .txt files as this might lead to unintended consequences! Alternatively, copy the JAR file into a new empty folder, cd into the path of the folder and run java -jar "[CS2113-T11-2][Flirt_and_Fork].jar". Ensure that the GiftList.txt file is within the data folder (and not empty) after first starting the App. Do let us know if the gift function still does not work after trying the abovementioned!
