I can't repro this locally. Is it possible the machine's TEMP directories are full? |
I will try to repro this too. Locally, and on CI. |
I tried debugging this on helix with #73743 . With the exception, I also printed the list of files, and directories in the temp path, before and after the
I'm not sure what exactly might be going on. Maybe somebody familiar with node/windows can help. |
Also note that CreateTempSubdirectoryCore ought to be passing the path to ThrowExceptionForIoErrno so that it appears in the error message. |

What path is that? We are building up a path template like:
And then passing that to |
oh, it's even more direct to timer, which is not very precise. |
I figured it would prove it had /tmp on it, but fair enough. |
Seems I didn't understand how the stack fits together here 🙂 |
I'm wondering how CLOCK_MONOTONIC works here |
So it gives 100 retries of random names, and then gives up. Do we need to clean some |
Would one option here be: For wasm only, in SystemNative_MkdTemp, write a loop of calls to |
busy wait ? no thank you :) |
It's better to throw an exception? @tmds @omajid - do you happen to know how many retries a "normal" |
this isn't urgent at all and we will be looking at the fs related syscalls for wasi in 8 |
100 retries ought to be enough for anybody 😄
The random function that is used is different: https://github.com/bminor/musl/blob/master/src/temp/__randname.c. |
This gave me some insight as to why #73408 affected
Note that last part: Looking at my change in #73408: - byte[] name = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(template);
+ string tempPath = Path.GetTempPath();
+ int tempPathByteCount = Encoding.UTF8.GetByteCount(tempPath);
+ int totalByteCount = tempPathByteCount + fileTemplate.Length + 1;
+ Span<byte> path = totalByteCount <= 256 ? stackalloc byte[256].Slice(0, totalByteCount) : new byte[totalByteCount]; Previously, we were always allocating the |
Wow! |
Who owns next step on this one, and what is it? |
I think the next step is to create our own random name function for wasm that has more entropy. |
Yup. Anyone interested.. |
This, or some form of it, will need a backport into 7.0.. |
Fixing it upstream would take long time and we don't have easy way how to patch it in C code on our side. |
We could also use a WASM specific C# method that always called |
Depending on what other allocations are happening concurrently perhaps it might also need a random sized dummy allocation (e.g. after the first try) |
On wasm/aot, `System.IO.FileSystem/Perf.File`'s `CopyTo`, `CopyToOverride`, and `ReadAllBytes` benchmarks fail randomly with: ``` ---> System.IO.IOException: The file '/tmp/' already exists. at BenchmarkDotNet.Autogenerated.Runnable_48.Run(IHost host, String benchmarkName) at System.Reflection.MethodInvoker.InterpretedInvoke(Object , Span`1 , BindingFlags ) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at BenchmarkDotNet.Autogenerated.UniqueProgramName.AfterAssemblyLoadingAttached(String[] args) ``` .. due to `Path.GetTempFileName()` being buggy - dotnet/runtime#73721. In `SetupReadAllBytes`, we are building the test file path as: ```csharp _testFilePath = Path.Combine(baseDir, Path.GetTempFileName()) ``` .. but the `Path.GetTempFileName()` is not appropriate here, as it will return a full path, and it will create the file. Instead we can use `Path.GetRandomFileName()` which should avoid the underlying issue completely. Fixes dotnet/runtime#74104 .
