Regression

No

Editor throws the error "Failed to load window layout "UserSettings/Layouts/default-2022.dwlt": UnityEditor.LayoutException: No windows found in layout" when a UIBuilder Window is docked

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project “ReproProject”
2. Go to the menu: Tools > Build Profile Manager
3. Dock the recently open window anywhere in the Editor
4. Close and re-open Unity
5. Observe the Console Window

Expected result: No errors in the Console Window and the “Build Profile Manager Window” is docked
Actual result: The Window is not docked and the error is thrown “Failed to load window layout "UserSettings\Layouts\default-2022.dwlt": UnityEditor.LayoutException: No windows found in layout.
Failed to load window layout "{path}/AppData/Roaming/Unity/Editor-5.x/Preferences\Layouts\current\default-2022.dwlt": UnityEditor.LayoutException: No windows found in layout”

Reproducible with: 2021.3.34f1, 2022.3.18f1, 2023.2.7f1, 2023.3.0b4

Reproducible on: macOS (Intel) 14.2.1, Windows 10 (10.0.19045) 64bit (by user)

Notes:
- The project that has a package imported as an Embedded package (this problem also happens when the package comes from PackMan)
- Although there were no errors in 2023 stream the “Build Profile Manager” Window is not docked.

  1. Resolution Note:

    Calling AssetDatabase.Refresh() during OnEnable() is not supported and we have no plans to invest the time necessary to support it any time soon.

    You can possibly use a delayed call (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EditorApplication-delayCall.html) if it's important for you to invoke this method in OnEnable, but this is a heavy call to make and I would rather advise making it happen on user input rather than automatically.

    I would re-evaluate the "Won't Fix" resolution.

    This issue will actually prevent a custom Layout from loading if any Editor Window within that Layout calls AssetDatabase.Refresh() within OnEnable().

    This issue is preventing the Layout from loading at all and makes it look like Unity crashed. The Unity Editor should at least handle this case gracefully, especially when that same Editor Window works totally fine when loading outside of a custom Layout group.

    Reproducible on Unity 2022.3.23f1
