+8I found out today that TestNav released an app for Mac OS instead of requiring the web based version. I tested it on my computer and it works fantastic. However on a student machine ( with no admin ), I get a bunch of prompts for the admin password and then it won't continue past Starting TestNav.
Has anyone out there successfully packaged this for deployment to non-admins?
Thanks!
+4Hey @bbelew ,
I am looking at this as well. So, far so good. Pearson's documentation states the following:
TestNav program files are saved in Applications/TestNav. TestNav program file updates are saved in {user_home}/Library/Application Support/Pearson. You must give students write access to the update directory.
Are you deploying to a local standard account or directory/mobile accounts? It works well if you create the folders as a postinstall script and give the user write permissions.
Best,
-Chris
+8It actually looks like my test machine is the issue. It prompts for admin access to all sorts of files when I run it, I tried a students machine and it worked flawlessly.
I just used composer to watch for added files and created the package that way. The ~/Library/Application Support.. stuff was created automatically when the app first opened without issue.
My test machine just needs set on fire I think :)
