failed to rename compilation results

[npetrangelo]

Zig Version

0.13.0

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

I just installed Zig fresh on my MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.5 using Brew, ran zig init to initialize a project directory, and then both zig build and zig build run produce this error. Removing .zig-cache does not make the error go away, although it changes the exact file names.
failed to rename compilation results ('/Users/Holobrine/Documents/Zig/HelloZig/.zig-cache/tmp/c5308b30c7e1737a') into local cache ('/Users/Holobrine/Documents/Zig/HelloZig/.zig-cache/o/0ab1fb96ef1aa97673762cc79441b88f'): Unexpected

Expected Behavior

I expected the code produced by zig init to compile and run on my machine with no issues.

Might be a duplicate of #17342, #19419, #21168 .
In that case the workaround is to disable iCloud or add ".nosync" to the end of the project root directory name to disable for that directory.

Not work for me....

@KarryCharon The iCloud issue so far resulted in error: Unexpected, not AccessDenied.
(#21168 is about AccessDenied originally, only a later comment mentions iCloud.)
Your AccessDenied looks like a different issue than the error: Unexpected in the original post here.

@npetrangelo I was having a similar issue to you in the beginning. I tried installing via homebrew, the packaged binary, and even building it from source but nothing was working. long story short, i installed it via nix package manager and everything works perfectly. I'm using an M2 Mac running Sonoma 14.6.1. I'm not sure if your AccessDenied error will be resolved but its worth a try.

My solution

1. Install Nix package manager

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

Follow the installation guide

2. Install Zig

nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' profile install nixpkgs#zig

That's it. No worrying about iCloud folders or libc++ clashes between llvm and clang. To verify, try running

zig version # should print 0.14.0
