zoechi · 2019-01-05T16:05:18Z

Looks similar to #8882 might be caused by pub though

AlexBokhankovich · 2019-01-05T16:51:29Z

I there any workaround or fix for this? i'm currently blocked by that issue and can't even go through flutter get started guide

zoechi · 2019-01-05T16:56:48Z

I haven't seen this issue before and don't know what exactly causes it.
H:\Temp is not a link, right?

AlexBokhankovich · 2019-01-05T17:01:46Z

Right, "H" drive is the ramdisk, I've moved Temp directory there.
I've also set both env vars TMP and TEMP to H:/Temp

zoechi · 2019-01-05T18:21:35Z

I'd suggest you try without that redirect as workaround.

AlexBokhankovich · 2019-01-05T19:38:16Z

Got it. I will try and let you know if it helps

AlexBokhankovich · 2019-01-05T20:01:15Z

It looks like changing TEMP and TMP env vars back to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp did the trick. @zoechi Thank you a lot. The issue is fixed but as for me it is not fix but workaround, since changing TMP location is not something unusual or unofficial hack etc.

zoechi · 2019-01-05T20:57:17Z

Right, it seems like #8882 where a system call is made that is not valid on windows.

tmokmss · 2019-06-02T12:27:25Z

Still reproduces on the latest release.
Could you fix this?

tz182736 · 2019-12-12T13:50:13Z

solution: move back build folder to C: drive.

issues as below:
As of 2019 Dec 12 with all latest version on windows 10, I still have the same issues with ramdisk symbolic link error.

I am using ImDisk Ramdrive for build folder.

command

flutter --verbose assemble --depfile R:\build\app\intermediates\flutter\debug/flutter_build.d --output R:\build\app\intermediates\flutter\debug -dTargetFile=C:_dev\easytech\ET LOTTERY\et_lottery_app_flutter\lib\main.dart -dTargetPlatform=android -dBuildMode=debug debug_android_application

Here's the comment from ImDisk discussion forum

(for the WinAPI GetFinalPathNameByHandle returning ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION ):

The issue is "inherent" to the nature of IMDISK (that bypasses the Volume Mount Manager)
Olof already commented on it:
http://reboot.pro/topic/21152-possible-bug-or-incompatibility-in-imdisk/

Try with Arsenal Image Mounter, it should work fine, as it is a "real" virtual disk driver.

Arsenal Image Mounter has free version with basic functionality (including Ramdisk), which is mentioned in the official ImDisk driver site.
