Work Description: stefanvodita commented on PR #809:
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/809#issuecomment-1847413956
Just to check that I understand the problem - is there an exception you are
encountering, which we could have caught when calling
`Files.createDirectories(dir.toPath());`? If you have a test that reproduces
the issue, that would be very helpful.

> Key: LOG4J2-3452
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3452
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.13.0
> Reporter: Stefan Vodita
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> I noticed an error like:
> {{ERROR Unable to create file ...}}
> {{at org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.FileUtils.mkdir(FileUtils.java:118)}}
>
> The error could be due to a race condition:
> {{Thread A: dir.exists() -> false}}
> {{Thread B: dir.exists() -> false}}
> {{Thread B: dir.mkdirs() -> succeeds}}
> {{Thread A: dir.mkdirs() -> throws exception}}
>
> I wrote a unit test which reproduces the error:
> {{public void testMkdirConcurrent() throws IOException {}}
> {{ final File file = new File("target/test/test");}}
> {{ for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {}}
> {{ new Thread(() -> assertDoesNotThrow(() -> FileUtils.mkdir(file,
> true))).start();}}
> {{ org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.deleteDirectory(file);}}
> {{}}}
>
> As a fix, we can use {{{}Files.createDirectories(){}}}, since this does the
> existence check and creation as one atomic operation.
>
> I will create a PR with the unit test and a fix.
