Access Denied issue

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Running with either administrator or non-administrator permissions sometimes causes permission denied errors when trying to read files. Not exactly sure what is causing this or how to fix but ran into it on Device 49/50

Fixed in 3f68252.

The issue was getting an access denied error on a specific directory in Windows, even when running stormcloud as administrator: C:\Users\Ryan\AppData\Local\Application Data. Interestingly, this directory is a special type of directory called a reparse point and normal applications from userspace are not able to list it (from my limited understanding).

Regardless, this fix should cause the client to gracefully fail any time a file is attempted to be accessed for which the user does not have read access.
