Marketplace Plgin Installation with RAMDISK on Windows

[cxumol]

What happened?

Unable to install anything (plgins/themes) from marketplace. It must be caused by my temp folder setup, which is located in the RAMDISK.

Error messages are like

[Install Error]:EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, realpath 'R:\Temp\logseq-journals-calendar-0.10.1'

[Install Error]:EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, realpath 'R:\Temp\logseq-bonofix-theme-v3.6.2'

Reproduce the Bug

1. Setup RAMDISK by ImDisk
2. Change the "TEMP" environment variable of system/user to a RAMDISK path
3. Try installing anything from plugin marketplace

Expected Behavior

Additional Context

It seems similar to this upstream bug https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/6861

The possible solution might be this one https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6906 Thanks

@andelf Sorry for incorrectly indicating it being an "upstream" bug. The upstream (nodejs) issue I mentioned was closed in 2016, which means to me that they have resolved it on their side and thus won't make any further change since 2016.

As of this bug, I do believe it can be fixed on the Logseq side, because there has been a solution made from another project when they encounter the same/similar problem. The same/similar issue on facebook/jest https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/6880 And how they resolved it https://github.com/facebook/jest/pull/6906/files

@cxumol Many thanks for providing the details. A minor patch to fs utility should fix this.

This is a problem in other electron apps also, such as Arduino IDE 2. I use a small batch script as a temporary workaround for starting Logseq with a custom TEMP dir on a normal drive, which is only needed when installing new plugins.
