New submission from STINNER Victor: test_startfile uses a weak time.sleep(0.1) to wait until the process started by os.startfile() completes. Instead of a sleep, can't support.rmtree() retry on "WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" error? For example, retry every 100 ms during 10 seconds?
It's easy to reproduce the bug on Python 2.7: just remove the time.sleep() call in tests. http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/x86%20Windows7%202.7/builds/145/steps/test/logs/stdio 0:23:42 [363/402/1] test_startfile crashed [1, 5.638000011444092] Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\regrtest.py", line 1877, in <module> main_in_temp_cwd() File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\regrtest.py", line 1864, in main_in_temp_cwd main() File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\contextlib.py", line 35, in __exit__ self.gen.throw(type, value, traceback) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py", line 769, in temp_cwd rmtree(name) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py", line 293, in rmtree _rmtree(path) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py", line 249, in _rmtree _waitfor(lambda p: _force_run(p, os.rmdir, p), path) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py", line 202, in _waitfor func(pathname) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py", line 249, in <lambda> _waitfor(lambda p: _force_run(p, os.rmdir, p), path) File "D:\cygwin\home\db3l\buildarea\2.7.bolen-windows7\build\lib\test\support\__init__.py", line 197, in _force_run return func(*args) WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'D:\\cygwin\\home\\db3l\\buildarea\\2.7.bolen-windows7\\build\\build\\test_python_2944' -- If it's too complex to implement a retry (too complex? really?), an obvious hack is to increase the sleep in test_startfile.py from 100 ms to 200 ms... ---------- components: Tests, Windows messages: 293428 nosy: haypo, jkloth, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [Windows] support.rmtree() should retry on WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
