Linux Interface Smoke Tests 🤦

[MohamedAlmaki]

• To install the tar.xz package for Linux, run (sudo) tar -xJf mantid-VA.B.C.tar.xz in a terminal and it will unzip the package in your current working directory.
• 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

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
