file problem creating directory #23693

Closed Jcw87 closed 2 years ago

Jcw87 commented 2 years ago

vcpkg will often fail to install a package because it fails to create a directory that already exists.

Environment

To Reproduce

  1. vcpkg install zlib:x64-windows
  2. vcpkg install freetype:x64-windows
  3. freetype will fail to install: file problem creating directory: D:/vcpkg/packages/detect_compiler_x64-windows Attempting to install freetype again will work correctly. The next package attempted will fail.

Alternately:

  1. vcpkg install llvm:x64-windows-static
  2. llvm will fail to install: file problem creating directory: D:/vcpkg/downloads/temp I could only get llvm to install by deleting the temp folder while vcpkg was extracting the llvm tar

Expected behavior A build script should never fail because it can't create a directory that already exists.

Cheney-W commented 2 years ago

I can't reproduce this issue in my side, I used vcpkg 2022-03-09-1affd32f93b299d5a907816c328ca3ededb73a7e and VS2019 16.11.11. I'm not sure if your disk has access rights, does this issue also occur on other drive?

Jcw87 commented 2 years ago

I've created several vcpkg installs and tried to replicate this again, both on my C drive (SSD) and my D drive (spinning magnetic disk). Most of the time, it would not happen. On a few occasions it did. I'm not sure what I did differently when the problem happened. There must be more steps critical to reproducing the issue that I'm not aware of. When I created this issue, the listed steps were all that was needed.

Among the various additional things I was trying:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling packages.
  2. Switching the vcpkg repository to different commits (issue originally occurred with a3df696929b28195b0d7a477ba6cd16dba48fa52)

I suppose I'll list everything that I was doing with my main vcpkg install in the past few days. Starting point was commit 30a3d841d88dbf1e668d875bcfc050aacdedc63b, with several libraries installed: x64-windows version of boost, zlib, and some others x86-windows version of zlib and some others

  1. I updated the repository to a3df696929b28195b0d7a477ba6cd16dba48fa52, which was the latest master at the time.
  2. I ran bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
  3. I ran vcpkg upgrade
  4. I tried using cmake-gui on an external project with vcpkg libs. It wasn't working. This was because I didn't add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE early enough in the process, but I didn't know that yet.
  5. I figured something may have gone wrong with the upgrade, so I uninstalled all of the packages, and reinstalled just the ones I needed for this project, which included zlib and freetype. This is when I encountered the first directory issue.
  6. I later needed llvm and tried to install it, and encountered the second directory issue.
  7. After a few cycles of uninstalling and reinstalling packages to verify the consistency of the problem and the reproduction steps, I created this issue. Clearly, it wasn't enough. There must be something else that put the vcpkg install into a state that allowed this problem to manifest reliably, but I haven't narrowed it down yet.

Did you install cmake locally? If so, could you please remove it before trying to reproduce this issue?

Thanks for posting this issue. If this issue has new information, please reopen it.

This happened to me again today, just as consistently as before. I deleted my packages, and went to re-install some of them, and the issue started up again. I currently suspect a bad interaction with the TortoiseGit shell extension. I really don't want to delete my packages again to test this hypothesis right now, though. I've had too many frustrating software annoyances today, including a Visual Studio compiler bug. I'll re-open the issue if I find out something more substantial.
