Callback not fired if we don't have write permissions for the destination

[jamchamb]

You can observe this by adding the following test to tests/full.js:

    "should fail without write permissions": {
        topic: function() {
            var self = this;
            var mkdirp = require('mkdirp');
            var baddir = path.join(to, 'readonly');
            mkdirp.sync(baddir);
            fs.chmodSync(baddir, '555');
            cpr(from, baddir, function(err,status) {
                self.callback(null, {
                    err: err,
                    status: status
                });
            });
        },
        "should return an error in the callback": function(topic) {
            assert.isUndefined(topic.status);
            assert(topic.err instanceof Error);
            //assert.equal('From should be a file or directory', topic.err.message);
        }
    },

npm test outputs:

✗ Errored » callback not fired
      in should fail without write permissions
      in CPR Tests
      in tests/full.js

I dropped this test in and it failed for me too. I'll add this to the official test suite and work on a fix for it in the morning.

I've added the skipped test while I figure out where in the stack that it's failing: https://github.com/davglass/cpr/blob/master/tests/full.js#L325-L335

Published this in cpr@1.1.1

[jamchamb]

Thanks for the quick response! The fix seems to work when I include cpr@1.1.1 in another project, but I'm getting errors in some of the new unit tests using node 0.10.44 (they work fine in 4.4.2). I see that it passed in Travis, so I'm trying to figure out if this is just on my end.

Here's the output:

$ node --version
v0.10.44
$ npm --version
2.15.0
$ nvm --version
0.31.0
$ npm test

  1) cpr test suite error handling should fail without write permissions:
     Error: timeout of 55000ms exceeded. Ensure the done() callback is being called in this test.

  2) cpr test suite validations should copy empty directory:
     Error: timeout of 55000ms exceeded. Ensure the done() callback is being called in this test.

  3) cpr test suite validations should not delete existing folders in out dir:
     Error: timeout of 55000ms exceeded. Ensure the done() callback is being called in this test.

  4) cpr test suite validations should copy one file:
     Error: timeout of 55000ms exceeded. Ensure the done() callback is being called in this test.

  5) cpr test suite validations should not copy because file exists:
     Error: timeout of 55000ms exceeded. Ensure the done() callback is being called in this test.

  6) cpr test suite should work as a standalone bin "before all" hook:

Hmmm, the timeout issue is likely just slowness from the machine it's running on. Can you try bumping up the timeout to see if that makes them pass? They are copying a massive amount of data. I probably should use a subtree of it so that it's not copying so much data.

As for that last one I'll take a look, my gut tells me it's trying to open the spawn command while the other file operations are still running from the test timeouts, which might show this error.

[jamchamb]

I increased the timeout length to five minutes and it's still failing with the same errors.

I also experimented a bit more with my test project. Trying to copy a small directory with a few files worked fine, but with the node_modules directory for cpr that's used in the unit tests, it times out and doesn't return.

For reference, the machine I'm testing on is running Fedora 23 with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU @ 2.40GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and a 7200 RPM SATA 2.0 disk.
