| Utility functions to rename a file or folder *src* to *dst* with retrying. ``os.rename()`` frequently raises "Access is denied" exception on | ||
| windows. This function renames file or folder using :command:`robocopy` to avoid the exception on Windows. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Here we can clarify that the retry will be done in Windows if robocopy is found in the system .
Also, we may limit in Conan the number of retries, looks like it will retry 1.000.000 times with 30 seconds intervals by default? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy
