build of IDEA failed: directory not empty Follow

Answered

I just had a build fail apparently in the process of cleaning the compiler output directory. A directory not empty exception was thrown. The directory contains a .DS_Store file.

I have had similar problems in my own code. I don't know how these files are being created. They are in directories that I have not displayed in Finder. Also I don't know why the files are not deleted.

I have only a screenshot of the error message. Upload id: 2022_05_12_MaLf2TRjayHTbBqK (file: Screen Shot 2022-05-12 at 9.43.59 AM.png)

I am running macOS 12.3.1.

Please clarify

1) what is "a build"? what exactly did you invoke?

2) what is your current IDE version

3) what is the branch of IJ project?

4) please provide all relevant log files in raw form, not screenshots please

installers.cmd

2) what is your current IDE version

2022.1.1

3) what is the branch of IJ project?

I started with idea/221.5591.52

4) please provide all relevant log files in raw form, not screenshots please

I would if I could.

I’m now thinking this is not an IDEA problem but some code of mine that is unexpectedly causing .DS_Store files to be created.

If that happens during a tree walk to delete a directory tree, a failure can occur because a directory that should have been empty is no longer empty.
