Windows: Can't overwrite file while compilation error dialog open #604

Closed philip-healy closed 7 years ago

philip-healy commented 7 years ago

I'm using lein-figwheel v0.5.13 running on Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10.

I'm editing my source files using IntelliJ/Cursive running as a Windows app.

Figwheel works as normal if I save a source file with no compilation errors. If I save a file with compilation error, the "Compilation Error" dialog appears in my browser. While this dialog is open I can't save the file again in IntelliJ - I need to close the dialog first.

Is Figwheel holding a lock on the source file while the "Compilation Error" dialog is open?

bhauman commented 7 years ago

Figwheel does a slurp to read the source of the file and slurp uses with-open which simply reads the file. No lock required. I think your env might be the suspicious outlier in this case. The compiler writes to files but not Figwheel.

There is another windows 10 filesystem related issue in here somewhere ...

Thanks for responding so quickly Bruce. I'll try the same workflow with the Windows version of Leiningen and see if the issue still crops up.

philip-healy commented 7 years ago

It seems to be working fine with Leiningen running natively under Windows. So, this appears to be a WSL compatability issue. I think we can close this as WSL is in beta. A supported version of WSL will be shipping with the upcoming Fall Creators Update. I'll check again once I have updated to the supported version.
