Permission denied @ unlink_internal #133

bodrovis · 2015-01-28T09:53:09Z

Hello.

I've just integrated the gem into my project and I am getting the Permission denied @ unlink_internal error while trying to upload the file. I have a very basic setup: a User model (with Devise) that has an avatar column. Model:

  attachment :avatar

View:

    <%= f.label :avatar %>
    <%= f.attachment_field :avatar, class: 'form-control' %>

I've also added the avatar to the list of permitted params.

Full stack trace:

So the error seems to appear when the gem tries to remove the cache file F:/rails/my/sitepoint/Synergy/tmp/uploads/cache/3051ff6b0198659c654e52df592264d7bce83341723f5b35c629fee2a3f0

The file 3051ff6b0198659c654e52df592264d7bce83341723f5b35c629fee2a3f0 does exist in the directory and I have even provided all permissions for everyone on this directory.

Using Ruby 2.1.5, Rails 4.2.0. Working on Windows 7 x64.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

bodrovis · 2015-01-28T09:57:44Z

I've used an interactive console and called the FileUtils.rm(path(id)) (from the lib/refile/backend/file_system.rb, line 59) directly and for some strange reason it did remove the file.

jnicklas · 2015-01-28T10:29:28Z

Sounds like a file permissions issue. Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about file permissions on Windows, so I'm of no help to you here :(

bodrovis · 2015-01-28T10:35:30Z

Yeah, seems so. I am just wondering why the FileUtils.rm(path(id)) does work, the line that does not work is File.unlink.

jnicklas · 2015-01-28T10:39:49Z

Could it be that you're running the console process as a different user/group or something than the server?

bodrovis · 2015-01-28T10:45:48Z

My setup is much simpler than that: the app is running on my local Windows machine. I've added the better_errors gem (https://github.com/charliesome/better_errors) that provides an interactive console in the browser so it should work as the same user (as it is the same Ruby process).

I've found an even stranger thing. Here is the output from the console:

>> FileUtils.rm(path(id)) if exists?(id)
!! #<Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ unlink_internal - F:/rails/my/sitepoint/Synergy/tmp/uploads/cache/7f0dc68940e056db183806f1c144f4b0488369ff4d89526659afb2ceffc2>

>> FileUtils.rm(path(id))
!! #<Errno::EACCES: Permission denied @ unlink_internal - F:/rails/my/sitepoint/Synergy/tmp/uploads/cache/289c9fe239cbf0fb42bf7896f5c2d6296a60b86033d330209aa6bdc642e8>

so it works from time to time.... Will try to research that further.

jnicklas · 2015-02-18T20:32:49Z

Any progress on this? Would be nice to see a resolution on this issue, but I don't know how we can proceed from here.

bodrovis · 2015-02-19T11:19:35Z

@jnicklas Unfortunately, no. If you have time to hack on this, there are free VMs with Windows here: https://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads

jnicklas · 2015-03-01T16:27:05Z

I'm closing this issue for now. I have neither the time nor the expertise to look into this. I'll reopen this if it becomes evident that other people are having the same problem. Please comment here if you feel this needs to be reopened.

orlade · 2015-05-26T04:03:51Z

Not sure if this is helpful, but I had the same problem using Jekyll on Windows when trying to build a file with no extension (called LICENSE). Every other file worked fine. I notice those files from your console also have no extension, so it could be somehow related?

bodrovis · 2015-05-26T09:21:00Z

Hm, maybe. However manual creation of such files works and what bothers me is that it also works from time to time in the console...

smashind · 2015-09-06T21:16:20Z

I'm also getting this error using Devise and Refile.

Using Ruby 2.1.5, Rails 4.2.3, Windows 7 x64 (aka RoR on hard mode)

luthfianto · 2015-10-24T08:27:12Z

I'm also getting this error on Refile.

Using Ruby 2.1.5 32-bit (RailsInstaller 3.1.0), Rails 4.2.4, Windows 10 x64

Eric-Guo · 2015-10-27T06:06:21Z

Same, don't known why but change file_system.rb in windows like below will at least temp solve it by leaving some tmp file at C:\git\RAILS_ROOT\tmp\uploads\cache

# Delete a file from this backend
#
# @param [Sring] id           The id of the file
# @return [void]
verify_id def delete(id)
  FileUtils.rm(path(id)) if exists?(id) && !Gem.win_platform?
end

Eric-Guo · 2015-12-05T04:30:43Z

More elegent solution maybe for ruby 2.3 is using new File::SHARE_DELETE when open file.

Lexvum · 2016-02-28T06:08:52Z

Hi, unfortunately I'm having the same issue.
@Eric-Guo How do you change file_system.rb?

Eric-Guo · 2016-02-28T06:56:43Z

@Lexvum running gem content refile, locate the file_system.rb and change it, usually, it's located at:

C:/Ruby22/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/refile-0.6.2/lib/refile/backend/file_system.rb

Lexvum · 2016-02-28T09:07:42Z

@Eric-Guo It works, thanks for your direction.
