Console.Clear crashes raven.server with redirected input / output

[Jason Dentler]

I'm running build 960.

I'm launching raven.server with the /ram argument using System.Diagnostic.Process with redirected input & output to reset the database between tests and quit after the last test.

A critical error occurred while starting the server. Please see the exception details bellow for more details:

System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid.

   at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

   at System.Console.GetBufferInfo(Boolean throwOnNoConsole, Boolean& succeeded)

   at System.Console.Clear()

   at Raven.Server.Program.<>c__DisplayClass32.<InteractiveRun>b__2d()

   at Raven.Server.Program.InteractiveRun()

   at Raven.Server.Program.RunServerInDebugMode(RavenConfiguration ravenConfiguration, Boolean lauchBrowser)

   at Raven.Server.Program.RunInDebugMode(Nullable`1 anonymousUserAccessMode, RavenConfiguration ravenConfiguration, Boolean launchBrowser)

   at Raven.Server.Program.<>c__DisplayClass1c.<InteractiveRun>b__f()

   at Raven.Server.Program.InteractiveRun(String[] args)

   at Raven.Server.Program.Main(String[] args)

Press any key to continue...

A quick Google search says you can't call Console.Clear() when the output is redirected. Ideas?

I'm doing black-box testing with Selenium, so embedded isn't an acceptable alternative. I need to clear the database between tests without recycling the app pool.

Thanks,

Jason

Is there a way to detect this? A pull request for NOT clearing would be great.

Next build will have a fix for this
