Jens Geyer commented on THRIFT-3966:
------------------------------------
I'd agree, that sounds unexpected. Could you provide a pull request maybe?
> 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, 0.9.3
> 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.
