#28 Deletion errors on Windows

[Channing Walton]

Version 2.4.0 on Windows.

Under windows, sometimes the deletion of a wiki file causes an error
saying that a resource cannot be deleted with no stack trace.

I have not determined the exact sequence of events required to reliably
reproduce the error and it doesn't occur on Macs (of course ;)

However, the unit tests fail under windows with the same problem so I'm
working on it.

I experience the same problem with 2.6.0. If I use a manual garbage collection from Eclipse, I can delete the file.

This looks like an unclosed filehandle to me, which is then garbage collected, freeing the file.

Hi Daniel,

thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to have a look. Do you notice it after you export something?

Hi Channing,

wow, that's what I call a fast response!

It happens not just on export. It's sufficient to just create a file (test.wiki), do some editing and then close the editor. If I try to delete the file right after closing the editor I get the error.

Now, if I do a GC (using Eclipse - Preferences - General - Show Heap Status --> now you can manually trigger a GC) and then try to delete the same file, it works fine.

:-)

thanks for the info. I'll have a poke around and see what I have forgotten to do.
