File Locking issue

[htran-21]

Hi,

I have a test case as following

var testfile = 'test.txt'

me.CreateTextFile({ path: testfile, data: 'Hello, world!', overwrite: true }) // WORKING

me.CreateTextFile({ path: testfile, data: 'Good morning!', overwrite: true }) // WORKING

me.LoadText({ path: testfile }) // WORKING

me.DeleteFile({ path: testfile }) // NO ERROR, but the file isn't deleted

me.CreateTextFile({ path: testfile, data: 'Bye bye!', overwrite: true }) // ERROR

ERROR: Wrapped java.lang.Exception: Unable to Create File [test.txt] Cause: Unable to Create File [test.txt]

My Bests,

Will it delete the file if you don't load it?

When you load the file, temporary locking occurs and until it's released, it won't delete.

What version of ThingWorx are you on?

Hi posipova,

Yes, the file would be deleted if that's not loaded yet.

No, that's not a kind of temporarily locking, I believe that's a bug in code of reading a file content.

It is Thingworx 7.4.1-b62

I recall this being an issue in older versions. This should be fixed in latest patches on 8.x releases

Hi,

FYI, this is a known bug fixed by TW-36598 on Apr 3 2019 and applied for all Thingworx versions 7.4.19+
