Unable to create cache / cookie sqlite errors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Somehow, Chromium thinks the cache directory is corrupt and needs to be moved 
and unlinked, making any previously opened SQLite file descriptors invalid and 
causing the app to lose cookies and local storage (on Windows, an error message 
is printed because the cache directory can't be moved for removal while in use).

The results are errors like the following:

[1024/144912:ERROR:connection.cc(1060)] Cookie sqlite error 1802, errno 0: disk 
I/O error, sql: INSERT INTO cookies (creation_utc, host_key, name, value, 
encrypted_value, path, expires_utc, secure, httponly, last_access_utc, 
has_expires, persistent, priority) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)

What is currently using the cache folder? Are you using the same cache folder 
for multiple instances of the application?

I'm not using it with multiple instance, and nothing else should be using the 
folder. You can reproduce the problem with the latest cefclient also like this:

% mkdir /tmp/cache_container
% mkdir /tmp/cache_container/cache
% chmod -w /tmp/cache_container
% cefclient.app/Contents/MacOS/cefclient --cache-path /tmp/cache_container/cache
^C
% cefclient.app/Contents/MacOS/cefclient --cache-path /tmp/cache_container/cache
[1030/003652:ERROR:cache_util.cc(132)] Unable to move cache folder 
/tmp/cache_container/cache to /tmp/cache_container/old_cache_000

@#2: Does it matter if cefclient terminates cleanly versus being killed with ^C?

During my tests it worked fine when terminating cefclient cleanly.

It's important to shut down the application cleanly. See also 
http://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12357.

The error message "Unable to move the cache: 5" (E_ACCESS_DENIED) is caused 
because CEF cannot access files. Previous launch of application didn't shut 
down cleanly. File locks were acquired in cache directory, but they weren't 
released due to unexpected termination. I think CEF thinks that files are 
corrupt and tries to delete cache directory (by renaming it to old_cache_000), 
but it fails due to file locks being held.

In my experience, CEF continues to work fine though with the "corrupted" cache 
directory.

At the very least, the issue of trying to move the cache directory after SQLite 
has already opened the cookies file should be fixed.
