#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.
