DELETE exception
I get exception trying to delete some files (OS is Windows NT).
Strangely some files get deleted, and on some ant failes.
All files have same permissions.
Here is the code:
<delete file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\Certifier.ini"/>
<delete file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\BulkLoad.ini"/>
<delete file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\MainMenu.ini"/>
<delete file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\ProductDelete.ini"/>
<delete file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\Reports.ini"/>
Here is output:
[delete] Deleting:

Not entirely true! It turns out that many NFS implementations also
die if you attempt to manipulate a file which is still open. Some of
them even let the call finish, write a temp file to the disk with an
enlightening name like .nfs872987410938741097341, then block on the
NEXT read attempt!

It's not Windows' locking. (I have seen Windows locking
when I had Explorer open and tried to delete some directories)
What I found is that DELETE fails b/c it's proceded by a
PropertyFile task AND a Copy task. Here is the code:
<copy todir="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}">
<include name="*.ini"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<!-- Set BulkLoad.ini values -->
<propertyfile file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\BulkLoad.ini"
comment="Customized for ${build.type} environment on">
<entry key="HOST_DIR" value="${host.dir.bulkload}"/>
</propertyfile>
<delete file="${build.dir}\${package.root.dcmtools}\BulkLoad.ini"/>
Output is:
[copy] BulkLoad.ini omitted as
C:\java\buildclasses\dcmtools\BulkLoad.ini is up to date.
[copy] Certifier.ini omitted as
C:\java\buildclasses\dcmtools\Certifier.ini is up to date.
[copy] MainMenu.ini omitted as
C:\java\buildclasses\dcmtools\MainMenu.ini is up to date.
[copy] ProductDelete.ini omitted as
C:\java\buildclasses\dcmtools\ProductDelete.ini is up to date.
[copy] Reports.ini omitted as
C:\java\buildclasses\dcmtools\Reports.ini is up to date.

When I did several PropertyFile tasks on different files and tried to
delete all of them write after, the DELETE always failed on the file
which properties were modified last. E.g. in:
<propertyfile file="A"/>
<propertyfile file="B"/>
<delete file="A"/>
<delete file="B"/>
DELETE on B will fail.
Also if I remove either PropertyFile or Copy task everything is OK.
Also if I replace Copy with FileSet to simple Copy file it also
works.
Also note that if there are multiple files like in the above example
all get deleted and it fails on the last one.

Windows doesn't let a program delete any file that is "locked"
by the OS at the time of attempting to delete. Such is not the case
in Unix. So this problem will usually occur in Windows only.
> Strangely some files get deleted, and on some ant failes.
Delete will fail only if some other task already holds an
open handle to the file that you attempt to delete. So,
please look at which task uses this file in the build
before a delete attempt on it is made. If it is a built-in
task that doesn't close the file before you try to delete it,
please let me know. If it is some custom task that
uses this file, you need to look into whether the file closes
all Input/Output Streams that the task holds on the file.

It is likely that windows is locking the file because you have it open in an
editor or some other application has it opened.

Usually this means another process has a lock on the file. Check for
programs, even editors, that have accessed this file.
