[C2E] - Crash When Starting Interface

Reported by: Peter Parker Owned by: Peter Parker
Priority: critical Milestone: Release 2.2
Component: Mantid Keywords:
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Tester: Stuart Campbell

Description

A relatively recent change elsewhere has meant that the datasearch.directories property in the mantid.properties file no longer has any value when installing Mantid afresh, in a clean directory.

Meanwhile, the assumption has been made at least once (in the C2E code), that there will always be at least one directory listed. This assumption has led to the unsafe use of the [] operator, and results in a crash.

Did a clean install (RHEL6) and made sure that datasearch.directories was blank in all my *.properties files.
