Summary0002719: Slicer.ini file being over written by running tests that use the --testing flag
Description

I'm losing my application settings every time I run a test that uses the --testing flag. I have to reset my extension paths and bookmarked directories and home module and DICOM DB when restarting Slicer.

Steps To Reproduce

Run Slicer normally, set up DICOM database path, do work that requires loading volumes from the db.
Exit.
Run ctest with a test that uses the --testing command, such as:
ctest -R py_AnnotationsTestingAddManyFiducials -VV
Restart Slicer, try to load a DICOM volume, you have to reset the path to the db.

Additional Information

I had a terminal window open to
/home/nicole/.config/NA-MIC
and was doing a long listing to check time stamps.
Before running the test (time stamp on Slicer.ini is from when I last exited Slicer):
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 178 Jul 5 18:41 cookies.ini
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 nicole nicole 80 Jan 31 2011 Extensions/
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 4793 Nov 1 17:08 Slicer.ini
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 4354 Nov 1 12:58 SlicerTesting.ini

during the test the Slicer.ini file disappeared:
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 178 Jul 5 18:41 cookies.ini
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 nicole nicole 80 Jan 31 2011 Extensions/
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 4354 Nov 1 17:12 SlicerTesting.ini

after the test, the Slicer.ini file only has a temp dir set:
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 178 Jul 5 18:41 cookies.ini
0 drwxr-xr-x 2 nicole nicole 80 Jan 31 2011 Extensions/
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 29 Nov 1 17:13 Slicer.ini
8 -rw-r--r-- 1 nicole nicole 4354 Nov 1 17:13 SlicerTesting.ini

cat Slicer.ini
[General]
TemporaryPath=/tmp

Also happens on a Mac, but haven't been able to find steps to reproduce, will ask Andrey to comment.

I confirm I am able to reproduce this issue on mac.

I have to say I've been losing Slicer configuration without running any tests (sometimes after Slicer crashes), but hopefully this issue is related.

Andriy> If a crash occurs, it's possible that some settings are lost because the QSettings hasn't yet been sync with the file system. If this is a problem, please create a dedicated mantis issue.
