Reloading a saved project produces nothing on Linux

[Martyn Gigg]

Early beta test issue from Spencer Howells.

[Federico M Pouzols]

I could not reproduce this. Projects are saved and loaded without errors. At least the workspaces and basic plots are restored when loading a project.

Does this refer to reloading an old project saved with earlier Mantid versions? There seem to have been lots of improvements in project load/saving: #9970, and this may have introduced backwards incompatibility with some old saved projects.

[Federico M Pouzols]

Further, I did the following check and could not see any issue:

• install Mantid 3.2 and save a project with a bunch of workspaces and plots
• uninstall and install nightly build 3.2.20121208.1833
• loading the project works well

(but note this was done on windows 7).

[Martyn Gigg]

It was noted as a specific issue on Linux but not Windows so I think it is OS specific.

Dan can you look into this

I could not reproduce it on Linux (deb) either. I did the test using different versions, saving with old Mantid 3.2.1, and then loading with 3.2.20121208, and projects are restored correctly.

I also tried to reload a project saved with Mantid 3.2.1 on windows, using 3.2.2012 Mantid on Linux, and found no issue. Wondering if there's a particular feature that breaks project save/load.

Tested with 3.2.20141208.1833 and 3.2.20141210.2005 and both seem to work fine, I'll check with Spencer to see if I can find out exactly what's not working.

This was just an issue with the Linux server Spencer uses having an older version of Mantid installed.

Commit in comment 7 mentions this ticket erroneously. I'm happy that this is actually okay now.
