----------------------------------
Summary: Code generation fails silently if user lacks permission
to create a directory in $CWD
Key: THRIFT-3966
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3966
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compiler (General)
Affects Versions: 0.9.3, 0.9
Reporter: Josh Elser
It appears that code generation will fail silently (no error message and a 0
return code) when the current user does not have permission to create a
directory in the current working directory (the "gen-XXX" directory for the
corresponding generated bindings).
I was able to easily reproduce this by:
{noformat}
$ cd /
$ thrift --gen py /path/to/some/idl.thrift
$ echo $?
0
$ ls gen-py
ls: gen-py: No such file or directory
{noformat}
I verified this happens on 0.9.0, 0.9.3, and 1.0.0-dev
(974c99ba38b02288daf05229cdf34e60261d2d01e). I have to assume it also happens
on 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 but I didn't explicitly verify that.
Ideally, the user would get a "Permission denied" type of error message and
we'd see a non-zero exit code for the thrift invocation.
