Re: [tycho-user] Problems with Tycho 0.20.0, Windows 7 and File.createTempFile(...)

we changed from plexus-utils to commons-exec to fork the test process in 0.20.0.

Not sure but might be a regression w.r.t. env variables being inherited to the forked test process.

 

Any chance you are explicitly setting other env variables using [1]?

You could try explicitly setting TEMP or TMP as surefire environmentVariables in pom.xml to see if that changes the behaviour.

Subject: [tycho-user] Problems with Tycho 0.20.0, Windows 7 and File.createTempFile(...)

 

I have just encountered a problem with our build on a particular build configuration and before I dive too deep into this, I wondered if anybody else have seen it as well.

 

In one of out JUnit tests we create a local temporary file with File.createTempFile("TestPrefix", "", null), which means Java should create a file with the specified prefix and extension in the default temporary directory. This works fine with all build configuration, except for the combination Tycho 0.20.0 and Windows 7 in which case it tries to create the file in either the root folder (c:\) or the Windows system folder (c:\Windows\), both of which fails with the error

 

ERROR: Cannot create a default folder [EXCEPTION: java.io.IOException: Access is denied]

        at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)

        at java.io.File.createTempFile(File.java:1879)

 

The test succeeds with following build combinations

 

- Tycho 0.20.0 under Windows Server 2008

- Tycho 0.20.0 under MacOSX

- Tycho 0.19.0 under Windows 7

- Tycho 0.20.0 under Windows 7 with administrative rights

 

It does not matter whether we set TMP, TEMP or similar environment variables. These seems to be overruled by the launcher somehow.

It does matter if we add -Djava.io.tmpdir=... to the surefire arguments.

 

I can see that there have seen some changes in sisu-equinox-launching to Tycho 0.20.0, but I have not yet tried to debug the issue.

 

Has anybody else seen this problem? Are there anything obvious I might have done wrong?
