[GRADLE-2315] FileNotFoundException when trying to get RandomAccessFile handle to artifacts directory lock file due to another process having a lock on the file Created: 18/May/12  Updated: 10/Feb/17  Resolved: 10/Feb/17

Status: Resolved
Project: Gradle
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Gradle Forums Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Won't Fix Votes: 1


 Description   

Exception looks like this:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\krik\.gradle\caches\artifacts-8\artifacts-8.lock (The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process)

Based on the artifact cache number, we can see that this is an older version. No report on whether the most recent version has the same problem but I suspect it will.

The problem occurs when we create a RandomAccessFile with rw mode for the lock file. The JavaDoc indicates that this can fail if another process holds a lock on the file.

Hi,

Can you please provide the full stacktrace for this error. To do this, you need to run Gradle with the `-s` switch.

Is this happening consistently?

How often does it happen?

If its intermittent, is there any triggering factor that you've noticed?

Can you please post your Gradle version and information about your OS version.

i saw this happen in multiple machines. very random but is happening at lease once a day. I have to restart my machine as a work around. i got his error again now.

I have also seen gradle trip over its lockfile in multiple versions, including 1.0-rc-3 (seemed worst around milestone-5). It occurs only sporadically and seems to be linked to downloading a lot of artifacts, though I cannot reliably reproduce.

Could this note from the user guide be related? "The lock is held whenever the binary meta-data store is being read or written, but is released for slow operations such as downloading remote artifacts."

Update after moving to gradle-1.0: still seeing this behavior sporadically, even when using --offline. I haven't noticed any apparent trigger.

Which OS?

This is on windows7 64bit.
