Fix #1870: Race condition with some virus scanners#1873
Merged
Conversation
Some virus scanners take out handles on files we are going to rename, causing access errors and preventing the rename. Typically this is short lived. Retry rather than erroring. No feedback given at the moment, and it will be a much larger patch to do so - as this is a regression fix I'd like to get it in and released and follow up with something thread all the UI channels down to this layer later (e.g. an implicit context mechanism of some sort perhaps?)

Looks sound, thank you for doing the work with the retry crate too.

This will happen to wsl v1 users on windows too as they share a file system.

I suppose, on a Linux system (or mac) where the EPERM was actually more
to do with someone chown()ing their stuff oddly, this will end up
consuming 28s before failing -- should we fail faster by making this
somehow conditional on Windows?

I think the appveyor failure is spurious. |

this is short lived. Retry rather than erroring.
No feedback given at the moment, and depends on an unreleased
retry, so WIP...
