Shell Script Desktop Shortcut

So I tried making a desktop shortcut which executes a very simple shell script. But when i double click/right click->execute it, it does nothing. (or at least I think it does nothing)

heres how my shortcut and shell script looks: Note the shortcut has "Terminal" set to 1, and i hope that means that it opens the shell script in a new terminal window.. (i have a couple terminals already open, which arent ready for usage (have scripts running))

Shortcut:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Test
Comment=Test
Exec=/home/(myusername)/test/test.sh
Icon=utilities-terminal
Terminal=true
StartupNotify=false
GenericName=Test

Shell Script:

#!/bin/sh
# (I tried both, /bin/bash and /bin/sh)
echo "hi"

Solution 1:

Both the desktop entry and the shell script should have executable permissions. Do:

$ chmod +x path_to_shortcut/shortcut.desktop
$ chmod +x path_to_script/test.sh  

Another way to change permissions for a script is to right click it, go to Properties > Premissions and check Allow executing file as program.
