No Icarus App Window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Environment:

Gallio 3.0.5.6.752 installed (Initially).
VS 2005
XP Pro

I had successfully written and run Mbunit tests with Icarus GUI test runner
before encountering this problem.

Today, I modified some code and related tests. I started Icarus GUI Test
Runner.

A dialog was displayed indicating that Icarus was exploring the tests, etc.

The dialog closed and the Gallio Icarus icon was displayed in the task bar.

But no Icarus app window was displayed on the desktop.

I attempted a Gallio repair install.
I removed Gallio.
I downloaded 3.0.6.787 and did a complete install which finished successfully.

When I start Icarus again the same thing happens. Dialog in upper left
"Exploring tests...",
then icon in task bar, and no app window on the desktop.

It's possible I accidentally had two copies of VS 2005 running at the same
time on the same project. I've closed down one of the VS's and rebuilt the
project so Icarus should be seeing clean Dlls.

Also, there were at 2 reboots at sometime during the above steps.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Additional Notes:

When I click or double click on the Gallio icon in the task bar the icon is
highlighted or unhighlighted. But no Gallio app window is displayed. 

Also, the Restore menu item alternates between enabled\disabled when I click on 
the icon.

Odd behavior.

When I right-clicked the Gallio icon in the task bar and click on Maximize. The
Gallio app window was displayed maximized.

When I click on Restore Down icon in the upper right hand corner of the Gallio 
app
window nothing happens.

I can run my tests in the Maximized app window.

But would like to run them in a normal sized window instead of full-screen 
window.

Graham did some work to fix a couple of cases like this where Icarus was 
remembering
the position of a minimized off-screen window.  Sounds like another variation 
of the
same problem.

Can you please try renaming the user settings file? (Icarus.settings in
AppData\Gallio\Icarus). If that fixes your problem, please attach the file 
here. Thanks.

renaming that settings file allowed icarus to start again. So, I'm uploading the
settings file in case it helps. I'm on a 64 bit Server 2008 OS, trying to run 
autocad
unit tests using gallio 3.1 build 313

I don't see anything obviously broken in this settings file.

I'd like to close this bug, Graham, do you see anything in here that we haven't 
taken
care of yet?

The only unusual thing is the test runner factory, there's another issue open 
with
similar symptoms where they were using the typemock runner. When they changed 
back to
the default the problem went away. Could you please try using the attached 
settings
file, but the default test runner factory (IsolatedProcess)?

Hi,

Just had the same issue on Windows 7, its opens and does not appear. I had a 
look in 
my  gallio settings as suggested above, the position X and Y were both set at 
-32000, 
so it was open off screen somewhere.

Gallio closed okay, I changed some code and reopened it so i have no idea what 
causes 
this issue.

Renaming the config file so it made a new config worked anyway, its back 
on-screen 
now.

-32000 is a fake coordinate used when windows are minimized offscreen.  For some
reason Icarus sometimes persists this location to the config file.

I'm sure Graham has added several checks for window status before persisting the
coordinates but it seems to not be enough.

Just to confirm, which version of Gallio are you running, Jon?
