"OSError: [Errno 120] This function is not supported by the system."

Hi!
Whenever I try running create_project.py i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_project.py", line 14, in <module>
    add_on = create_project.CreateProject( "myaddon","mya")  #This Class Will create the project
  File "C:\Users\Retcy\Downloads\8. Coding Fun\neptune_api\neptune_lib\core\create_project.py", line 108, in __init__

  File "C:\Users\Retcy\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\send2trash\plat_win_legacy.py", line 146, in send2trash
    raise WindowsError(result, FormatError(result), paths)
OSError: [Errno 120] This function is not supported by the system.: ['C:\\Users\\Retcy\\DOWNLO~1\\8. Coding Fun\\neptune_api\\builds\\myaddon'] 

Code:
create_project.txt

Might be a good idea to add more details here.

This is where the exception is raised:

if os.path.isdir(self.name):
    send2trash.send2trash(self.name)

@retr0cube To fully understand what is going on here we are going to need:

• What OS version you are running (appears to be windows)
• What version of send2trash you are using, you can get that via pip list if it was installed via pip

@glubsy The error actually should be coming up from the plat_win_legacy` line 146 (in versions that have a line 146), although why that error is coming up is unknown especially as "This function is not supported by the system.".

Looking into the error code it appears it is just being converted incorrectly 120 is actually DE_ACCESSDENIEDSRC | 0x78 | Security settings denied access to the source. based on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shfileoperationw#return-value.

@arsenetar Hi! Sorry for late response btw :)

• OS: I use Windows 10
• Module Version: send2trash 1.7.1

Edit 1: Further testing i found that when you open the file you want to delete that error pops; But running the script again without accessing files everything runs fine, weird ?!

Edit 2: Maybe Permission issues ?

[arsenetar]

Yeah it is a permission error, it seems the error string is converted incorrectly, will look into updating the conversion to be correct.

[retr0cube]

@arsenetar hopefully will get updated very soon !
good luck !

Hi,
I just got the same error and fixed it. Check if python hasn't been blocked by the Windows Defender ransomware protection! You should authorize python to access controlled folders.

It doesn't work I tried doing it. Still getting the same error OSError: [Errno 120] This function is not supported on this system.: ['C:\\Windows\\Temp\\SDIAG_~4'] I have asked this question on Stack Overflow but no good answer has popped out yet
