Build: Unable to delete directory 'packages'

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 6 comments

I am trying to build this project on IntelliJ IDEA 2021.1.3 on Windows 11.

Unable to delete directory 'D:\files\src\pacmc\packages'
  Failed to delete some children. This might happen because a process has files open or has its working directory set in the target directory.
  - D:\files\src\pacmc\packages\aur\pacmc\.SRCINFO
  - D:\files\src\pacmc\packages\aur\pacmc
  - D:\files\src\pacmc\packages\aur

Weird, maybe it does have something to do with that you did just clone the repository into D:\files\ and another process is active there?

I delete this line of code in build.gradle.kts. Works fine for me.

workingDir("packages/aur/pacmc/")

The packages directory inside the root directory of the project contains some git submodules which you do not have access to, but I do not see why Gradle would try to "delete" the directory.

Temporary fix with faf592b
but I don't know how it will behave if someone on arch who does not have permission is trying to build the project

Tested and works great for me. 👍

Now using the Gradle task avoidance API, meaning that it should be fixed in a non-temporary way.
