Rust can't delete it's own tmp #3465

DasLixou · 2023-08-24T15:26:35Z

Problem

Just can't delete its own temp folder on Windows. It panics:
thread 'main' panicked at 'Unable to clean up C:\Users\lixou\.rustup\tmp: Os { code: 5, kind: PermissionDenied, message: "Zugriff verweigert" }', src\utils\utils.rs:650:13
I installed rustup via the exe setup.

Steps

Install rustup via the exe setup on windows.

Possible Solution(s)

No response

Thanks for reporting it. This is definitely not the normal case. Can you please see if there is a file left in the referenced tmp dir after that error? Also what anti-virus / anti-malware software do you have in use?

DasLixou · 2023-09-04T15:59:34Z

@rbtcollins sorry having you waiting for so long. I only use default windows defender. Indeed, there is a file called feeatnvdkbrj7yrw_file still inside the tmp folder.

rbtcollins · 2023-10-15T12:49:44Z

My turn to apologise :).

Can you examine the permissions on that file (or if its gone, whatever files are present, and if no files, tmp itself)?

e.g. this is what I see:

> cd .rustup
>icacls tmp
tmp NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
    BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
    LIFELESSTR2\robertc:(OI)(CI)(F)

DasLixou · 2023-10-15T12:50:38Z

I just deleted tmp manually ._. any way to like.. get it back? could i maybe install another target or so?

rbtcollins · 2023-10-15T12:53:53Z

it might be in your Deleted Files / Recycled folder, depending on how you deleted it. I'm not sure if we'll learn much from it there, it might have reset the file ACLS - but perhaps it didn't, worth giving it a go.

What I'm trying to figure out is whether the error you are getting is:

permissions based
something like an open / running process causing the failure, even though the permissions are legitimate

Also - what OS version do you have? (just the major - e.g. 7/10/11)

It's windows 11. I'm running it inside of vs code but i always stop the language server on update

Hello, I am experiencing this issue as well. I may have seen it before but previously I didn't really pay that close of attention to rustup updating. This is on Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045.

PS C:\Users\rsmyth\.rustup\tmp> rustup -v
rustup 1.26.0 (5af9b9484 2023-04-05)

Condensed output:

And as suggested above:

Where COMPANY_DOMAIN is my company's domain, as this is a work computer. I just changed it.

The details of the file within:

PS C:\Users\rsmyth\.rustup> cd tmp
PS C:\Users\rsmyth\.rustup\tmp> ls

The file is still there, so let me know if there is anything else I can do. Looking at

rustup/src/utils/utils.rs

Lines 647 to 654 in 5af9b94

    
           pub(crate) fn delete_dir_contents(dir_path: &Path) { 
        
               match remove_dir_all::remove_dir_contents(dir_path) { 
        
                   Err(e) if e.kind() != io::ErrorKind::NotFound => { 
        
                       panic!("Unable to clean up {}: {:?}", dir_path.display(), e); 
        
                   } 
        
                   _ => {} 
        
               } 
        
           }

I don't see anything particularly obvious.

Ah, I ran the original rustup update command in a VS Code terminal. The admin shell was a separate Powershell window. I closed VS Code and tried again and it worked without panicking. So my guess is something with RA or something prevented it from being deleted.

Yes, I had the same problem. Project opened in VSCode and tried to run rustup update in separate terminal
Closing VSCode helped to Update

@RossSmyth @Goozoon Thanks! Similar to #3660, this seems to be another example of #988.

rami3l · 2024-02-13T01:29:56Z

Closing as a duplicate of #988.
