Hello everyone!
I think I found a bug that might affect Mac users. I was trying to upload a dummy scoring_program for a benchmark I’m planning to host, but whenever I uploaded a dummy submission file, nothing happened until the time limit was exceeded.
After some trial and error, I found that uploading the scoring_program from a Codabench example worked—but only if I didn’t unzip and rezip it on my Mac. When I downloaded the template file and uploaded it again without unzipping, it worked as expected. But if I downloaded it, unzipped it, and then rezipped it (without changing anything), I had the same timeout issue as with my dummy program.
I realized it might have to do with hidden files that macOS adds when zipping files (either .DS_Store or __MACOSX). When I used a terminal command to zip it without these extra files, it worked again.
So, I think these hidden files might be causing something to crash internally? I hope this information is helpful!
Best regards,
Domenic :)
