#843: 'cabal test' crashes on Windows ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: ttuegel | Owner: ttuegel Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Cabal crashes with the following error on Windows Vista and 7 (I have not tried XP): {{{ Running 1 test suites... Test suite tests: RUNNING... Test suite tests: PASS Test suite logged to: dist\test\foo-0.1-tests.log cabal: permission denied }}} The "permission denied" error appears to be from an attempt to delete a temporary file while it is still open. This does not appear to cause problems on Unix, but Windows won't allow it. I believe it is due to the fact that the temporary log file is read lazily, so it doesn't get closed before the file is deleted. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/843> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
