The Gift function does not work

[nus-pe-bot]

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.

Team's Response

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!

You should be receiving the following outputs:
