RunView server port is 0, no run feedback

[macumber]

Issue overview

First reported at:
https://unmethours.com/question/67363/openstudio-has-crushed/

Current Behavior

Run server port is 0 and no feedback from openstudio CLI gets to App. This also seems to prevent simulation results from making it back to the user's directory.

Expected Behavior

The simulation output should appear in the app and simulation results should get copied back.

Steps to Reproduce

Unclear why this is happening.

Possible Solution

One workaround would be to let the user specify a port via environment variable. At the very least, if a socket cannot be opened (

OpenStudioApplication/src/openstudio_lib/RunTabView.cpp

Line 233 in ee27981

<< "-s" << QString::number(m_runTcpServer->serverPort()) << "-w" << workflowJSONPath;

), don't pass that argument to CLI.

Some additional details about your environment for this issue (if relevant):

• Windows
• 1.2.0

User upgraded from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 and said issue temporarily went away. However, she reported that the issue came back after restarting. Note that user has installed OpenStudio Application in C:\Program Files instead of C:\.

Oddly measure manager seems to be working which uses a similar TCP socket:

OpenStudioApplication/src/openstudio_app/OpenStudioApp.cpp

Line 1283 in ee27981

// find available port
