MacOS Interface Smoke Tests 🤦

[MohamedAlmaki]

We must test both the .dmg installer package and install direct from conda.

• To install via conda:
  • Use Intel Conda and make sure conda-forge is added to channels

mamba create -n mantid_rc1 -c mantid/label/v6.12.0rc1 mantidworkbench --yes
mamba activate mantid_rc1
workbench # to launch

Before testing:

• Check this testing issue relates to the OS you will test on.
• If unassigned, please assign yourself as for a normal Github issue.
• Please run these tests on the release package of Mantid; not a locally built version.

Afterwards:

• Comment below with any issues you came across.
• If no major issues were found, please close this testing issue.
• Check the main issue for this OS for other unassigned smoke tests.

If you have any questions please contact the creator of this issue.

ISIS only, if possible, so catalogue access can be tested

• MantidWorkbench opens without errors or warnings
• Every option in Interface opens a GUI
• Load some test data
• Access Catalogue through algorithms (use Facilities account, same as for IDAaaS): CatalogLogin and CatalogGetDataFiles
• Saving/loading projects works
• Alter preferences in File > Settings and check they are obeyed
