fs.copy throw unexplained error ENOENT, utime

[nirmelamoud]

Hi

trying to copy a file from path a to another path 50% of the time, I get the following error
Error: ENOENT, utime 'my target path'
this happen right after I call fs.copy(oldPath, targetpath, function (error) { - -it get to the block with the above error - any idea ?

the file exist in the old path, but the strange thing is that it is also appeared on the target path , so the copy worked ???

what is the above error ? (what is the utime part of it) ?

I think it happens when fs.copy try to set the timestamp of the file after copying it, when I wrap it with try catch it never happened again - but the problem is that its not consistent it happen only in 50% of the times.

thanks

That's really weird. Would you

npm install [email protected]

and see if you still have the same problem?

Thanks!

Trying [email protected] on 0.10.25 node. Same problem.

Can you provide an example to help me reproduce the problem? Thanks.

Oh, sorry.
Same message, but my problem not in fs-extra.

[jprichardson]

Need more information.

I have the same problem. If I remove the file before coping, it works. This only happens if destiny already exists.

same random ENOENT errors here, though the path is correct. Really weird.
Happened as I switched from sync to async APIs.

@AndyOGo Please open a new issue, preferably with a reduced test case. Thanks!
