Description

I want to rename a repository but it isn't possible. I just get a "500" error. The log file contains the following message but not more:

2021/07/14 15:52:30 ...ters/repo/setting.go:102:SettingsPost() [E] ChangeRepositoryName: rename repository directory: rename C:\gitea\gitea-repositories\frohp\frohp-themen.git C:\gitea\gitea-repositories\frohp\frohp-themen-2.git: Der Prozess kann nicht auf die Datei zugreifen, da sie von einem anderen Prozess verwendet wird.
2021/07/14 15:52:30 ...s/context/context.go:184:HTML() [D] Template: status/500

In English the message is something like: The process can't access the file. It is open by another process.

Screenshots

Not relevant.

are you running the go-git or non-go-git variant?

[julian-go]

I am having the exact same issue, running this release on windows -> https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.14.4

Maybe you could close your anti-virus software and try again.

[julian-go]

Okay, I have found something. It seems to only happen if you use the option "initialize repository". It might be git doesn't free the .git file in the background.

Edit: If I create an empty repository I can rename it. If I initialize OR push to it, I cannot rename it any longer, resulting in error 500.

[zeripath]

@julian-go are you running the go-git variant or not?

[zeripath]

Can you try on 1.15 also.

[julian-go]

@julian-go are you running the go-git variant or not?

How can I find out?
It's this installer.

https://dl.gitea.io/gitea/1.14.4/gitea-1.14.4-windows-4.0-amd64.exe

[zeripath]

OK you're running the non-gogit variant.

[zeripath]

As lunny asks above are you @julian-go running antivirus?

[julian-go]

Yes, but its a corporate environment and I cannot turn it off unfortunately.

I asked my admin if the virus scanner can be turned of for 10 minutes for testing purpose. I will let You know asap when I got a chance to test the behavior.

I use the same download file as @julian-go .

[zeripath]

Please try #16435

[onlygecko]

The error occurs also with a disabled McAfee virus scanner. I will test again when a release with the commit #zeripath@05d4a69 is available.

[zeripath]

It won't get released or merged without someone doing some testing.

I can make a build with #16435 backported to 1.14
