# [PATCH 0/1] git-p4: close temporary file before removing 2 messages from 2019-08-01 to 2019-08-01. Participants: Philip McGraw via GitGitGadget, Andrey. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/51566 ## Philip McGraw via GitGitGadget, 2019-08-01 00:36 Subject: [PATCH 0/1] git-p4: close temporary file before removing Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/pull.301.git.gitgitgadget%40gmail.com ``` python os.remove() throws exceptions on Windows platform when attempting to remove file while still open. Add local allocateTempFileName() to clarify that only the name is being allocated by NamedTemporaryFile(); file and handle are closed (but not deleted) when leave scope. Subsequent file deletion will succeed since file was closed. Also print error details after resulting IOError to make debugging cause of exception less mysterious when it has nothing to do with "git version recent enough."
