Bug 11852 – RDMD broken on the Github HEAD

I get the following error when I try running rdmd std.file.FileException@std/file.d(1364): /tmp/.rdmd-1000: File exists

What is the command line you are using?

(In reply to comment #1) > What is the command line you are using? Just plain simple $ rdmd test.d gives me this error. The error disappears once I remove the directory /tmp/.rdmd-1000 manually. But reappears when I run rdmd again. I have tried running on various machines (all ubuntu 13.10 systems). I can also confirm that the error appears with the github version git://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools.git SHA1: 1f39ed7b6e1cbb0695d7e9b48ad559efd4193bcb rdmd: Use a lock file to synchronize concurrent builds in the same workDir But does not come with rdmd compiled from one previous version SHA1: f0606e372bf2a226739fab923c0f92cf65ef2228 Merge pull request #101 from andralex/rdmd

Is there a stack trace?

It's likely triggered by one of the three mkdirRecurse calls in RDMD, which calls mkdir on Posix, which is the origin of std/file.d(1364) in git-head. Maybe there should be a check first via: if (!path.exists()) path.mkdirRecurse();

I tried creating a stack report, but somehow I was not able to manage that even I used a version of rdmd compiled with -g flag. So I patched the rdmd.d as per your suggestion and it works. I have created a pull request. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/tools/pull/104

My suggestion had a race condition. Looks like this pull will fix the issue: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1818

Sorry, you're right, rdmd pull #99 depended on Phobos #1818. I moved mkdirRecurse (then called ensurePathExists) from rdmd to Phobos at Andrei's suggestion. The rdmd pull was merged, and I didn't say anything because I thought the Phobos one would be merged promptly too.
