Already tried dint work

You can see my comment on it
I open this as that one was closed but the bug re-occurred on the new version too.

dam-ease · 2024-02-27T06:35:43Z

Thanks for your response @nixos-s.
I missed out on your response seeing the issue was closed as solved.
Can't see similar issues open currently, I'll be labelling this for more insights from the team.

assigning to myself to investigate where in the stack this is coming from

christopherfujino · 2024-02-27T23:01:27Z

I'm fairly sure that this is an upstream pub issue, so I filed: dart-lang/pub#4155. However, I will leave this issue open for discoverability.

sigurdm · 2024-02-29T09:19:52Z

This is mysterious to me. cache clean just removes a directory by calling the dart:io primitives.

@nixos-s could you try running flutter pub cache clean -v and attach the log?
@nixos-s can you remove the C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache dir manually?

Could you also try running dart pub cache clean -v and attach the log?

To note i have downgraded to flutter 3.16.9

It still faces same issues as 3.19.0

Logs are from 3.16.9

sigurdm · 2024-03-04T08:52:46Z

Thanks for the added details.

Hmm, I'm dumbstruck by this behavior. No clue what could be happening - the code does check for the dir's existence up front - and the error message says "path not found". We have tests running this code on Windows in CI.

@jonasfj do you have any ideas?

jonasfj · 2024-03-04T08:58:52Z

@sigurdm are we handling PathNotFoundException ?

It sounds to me like the PUB_CACHE was deleted, nothing exists at C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache, and thus, deletion fails.

@nixos-s for context, the PUB_CACHE used to be in FLUTTER_ROOT. But we changed to exist in the users home directory, so that it doesn't get purged between flutter installs.
This also means it can be shared between different flutter / dart installs, this is important since things like dart pub global activate won't work nicely otherwise.

This is why even if you installed flutter on D:, that's not where the PUB_CACHE is located.

Does the C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache exist on your system?

nirgranth · 2024-03-04T09:45:11Z

Yes the dir is there, I have to delete it manually to get rid of it

jonasfj · 2024-03-04T10:47:13Z

@nixos-s does the issue reproduce after you've deleted it manually? Did it just get in a weird state or what?

Are you owner of the directory, have permissions to delete it? things like that.

nirgranth · 2024-03-04T12:44:37Z

Yes I am an admin

I have retried with dir being present

And doing pub get and the cache clean after that still leads to same error

I have also tried with admin privileges in terminal

sigurdm · 2024-03-04T12:53:10Z

Just to narrow the possibilities a bit. Could you please run this dart script:

import 'dart:io';

main() {
  print(Directory(r'C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache').existsSync());
  print(File(r'C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache').statSync());
  Directory(r'C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache')
      .deleteSync(recursive: true);
}

And report the output?

With help from chatgpt i tried out a few thing
I tried debugging the environment

import 'dart:io';

void main() async {
  var cacheDirectory = Directory(r'C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache');

  if (cacheDirectory.existsSync()) {
    print('Directory exists: ${cacheDirectory.path}');
    printFileStat(cacheDirectory);

    try {
      await deleteDirectory(cacheDirectory);
      print('Directory deletion scheduled successfully.');
    } catch (e) {
      print('Error scheduling directory deletion: $e');
    }
  } else {
    print('Directory does not exist: ${cacheDirectory.path}');
  }
}

void printFileStat(Directory directory) {
  var fileStat = directory.statSync();
  print('FileStat: type ${fileStat.type}');
  print('changed ${fileStat.changed}');
  print('modified ${fileStat.modified}');
  print('accessed ${fileStat.accessed}');
  print('mode ${fileStat.mode}');
  print('size ${fileStat.size}');
}

Future<void> deleteDirectory(Directory directory) async {
  try {
    await Future.delayed(Duration.zero);
    await directory.delete(recursive: true);
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error during asynchronous deletion: $e');
    rethrow; // Rethrow the error for the caller to handle if needed
  }
}

Trying via Cmd Works

void main() async {
  var cacheDirectoryPath = r'C:\Users\Nixos\AppData\Local\Pub\Cache';

  try {
    await Process.run('cmd', ['/c', 'rmdir', '/s', '/q', cacheDirectoryPath]);
    print('Directory deleted successfully.');
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error deleting directory: $e');
  }
}

The same issue is found on my Flutter env too.

I have to delete the Cache folder manually.

Command line error:

From this it looks to me like a dart:io issue. The directory is clearly there, but delete() doesn't find it.

@sortie do you have any insights here?

sortie · 2024-04-02T20:03:42Z

My best bet is that ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND happens during the recursive directory deletion. The error might happen in a context where it should be ignored. Reading runtime/bin/directory_win.cc, for instance what could happen, is that it reads the directory and deletes each directory entry recursively. However, if there is any race condition where another thread makes an entry in the directory and deletes it, then the code doesn't protect against that case. dart may try to remove such a file and it'll be deleted by the time it's gone, failing with ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. It might also be a subdirectory since we don't get ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. The recursive deletion loop should detect these errors and ignore such race conditions, being happy when the directory is finally empty.

Or perhaps there's other conditions in there that might bring up these error codes in a surprising manner. You gotta remember there's lots of background activity on Windows that may keep paths alive or act on them in the background. The path in the exception is added on an outer layer, so it doesn't actually have the relevant failing nested path in the error message. You should audit the dart:io code carefully to spot all the potential cases that can happen, I didn't study it super closely at this time. The issue could be something else.
