I've made an executable .jar
file for a terminal game I've been working on. So far, I opened it by typing java -jar name.jar
in the Terminal. This worked, but when I made a .sh
file with the same command, the .jar
file couldn't be accessed. [1]
Later, I realised that if I specify where the jar file is, it does open. [2] But the jar file and bash file are in the same folder called "playgame", and if I were to move that folder elsewhere, that file path specified in the bash file won't be valid anymore. So, is there a way to specify the location of the bash file, no matter where it is?
The content of the bash file in situation [1]:
#! /bin/bash
java -jar game.jar
(doesn't work)
The content of the bash file in situation [2]:
#! /bin/bash
java -jar Desktop/playgame/game.jar
(does work, but unreliable)
I have used chmod +rx bashfile.sh
to make the bash file executable.
I have tried it with a .command
file instead of .sh
file, it did the same.
Also, I'm on a MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 if that's of any importance.
Thanks in advance!
