crash in onefile.py: assert not os.path.exists(source_dir) about nuitka HOT 5 CLOSED

It's asserting that it is able to delete the pre-existing build folders before building them. That not working, my best guess, is that AV tools hold locks while deleting the folder. It is doing

removeDirectory(path=source_dir, ignore_errors=False) right before, and that it does not work is very strange. This should be the .onefile-build folder. What is left behind there? Usually, the exception should be caught, and a retry be made, and if that still arises, it's passed to the outside.

Our error handler retrying, doesn't necessarily make things continue after succeeding in a local retry though. I don't know if this function changed in Python3.11, but the error handler is called, but the action is not resumed, the error handler should always raise I guess, or not be there at all, it might not be helping. I will therefore switch to a mode, where it now records the function that failed, and retries it for as long as something else fails.

I got a new implementation of it, that I want you to try on the factory branch.

Thanks for your report, this is fixed on the factory branch, which is a development version under rapid development. You can try it out by going here: https://nuitka.net/doc/factory.html

Feedback on whether this is working is very welcome. Please do not share plans to do it; only confirm or deny that it is working.

Thanks for the feedback. Before going to the factory branch, I tried
another compile to re-verify the error. The weird thing is that it
now compiles cleanly (with the new python/nuitka versions)!

Not sure why. The only change I made to my environment was for a
different project which required me to install the following packages:

pip install requests
pip install ratelimit
pip install PyJWT

I'm not sure that there is any value in trying the factory branch now,
but if I get a similar error in a different project, I will give it a try.

Thanks for your help.

It would depend on specific race conditions I suppose. I think I might have prevented those from appearing, but it's going to be hard to tell. I am closing this early for lack of general relevance.

Part of the 2.3 release I just made.
