PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied when building

[reefwarrior]

can you try again?

system info given out the reason - spaces in absolute filepaths... I tried renaming the working repo dir, which triggered the issue you described. should work now

Sorry, as this is a duplicate - the original 'ticket' was closed, so I don't know if you were able to get it @mcspr :)

have you 'pull'ed from the repo again to sync it?

does not tell me anything useful :/
if you happen to run vscode, try again with pio.exe directly? (pio.exe run -e $PIO_ENVIRONMENT_NAME)

[reefwarrior]

Tried. Get the same problem about PermissionError :(

[reefwarrior]

Perhaps this is not related, but I can build (3d printer) Marlin firmware without an issue....

Sorry haven't answered - yes I have pulled the latest.

WinError 5 issue is assumed to be fixed in PIO:
platformio/platformio-core#3328

idk about Marlin differences, seems almost the same.

espurna/code/platformio.ini

Line 129 in f6ec242

https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP.git#7e9ed22

can sometimes become

https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncTCP/archive/7e9ed22.zip

but, if WIFISUPPORT is enabled, I see the same git clones (which are supposedly the issue with Windows):
https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/blob/9913333c33d234264a9072630e8b5ffbf07bad7e/platformio.ini#L357-L361

OK, SOMEHOW, and I still don't know how, I got this to build. There was a dependency that it didn't pull (a library item), which I installed manually... SPIFlash or something like that it is called. So I will TRY and see if I can get the new firmware uploaded....

[mcspr]

SPIFlash was the specific lib that always failed? We don't list it directly, but it comes from rfm69. Does removing rfm69 line from `lib_deps = ...' in the platformio.ini fix the issue?
Libraries are installed per env, have you tried building with another, does it fail?

edit: Upstream issues:
platformio/platformio-core#3479 (now closed)
platformio/platformio-core#3664

The issue is due to the vscode git watch.
vscode "locks" .git folders

As a workaround you could disable the vscode git watch in settings.json:

{
    "git.enabled": false
}

[tita2000]

Hi, where to find the settings.json file? Thanks

[mcspr]

@tita2000
See code/.vscode/settings.json
You can use File > Preferences from the VSCode menu

[mcspr]

Per platformio/platformio-core#3664 (comment)
Things should work after pio upgrade --dev / when next version 5.0.2 is released

edit: vscode git integration is still bonkers though, it's just a workaround... but idk how to solve this from our side reliably without shoving libraries into global storage (or creating our custom libinstall dir) or replacing git repos with vendor'ed .zip archives / link to github archive feature instead.
