Access denied when trying to build on windows

[Johannes Rudolph <johannes_rudolph@…>]

Hi,

I tried to get bitten-slave to work using Windows XP, it's building but afterwards there are errors:

C:\Python24\Scripts>bitten-slave --debug -v vs2064252.netfabrik.de -d z:\temp\bitten
[INFO    ] Registering with build master as gambistics
[INFO    ] Registration successful
[ERROR   ] [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'z:\\temp\\bitten\\Windows_r58.tar.bz2'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\lib\asyncore.py", line 69, in read
    obj.handle_read_event()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\asyncore.py", line 391, in handle_read_event
    self.handle_read()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\asynchat.py", line 137, in handle_read

  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\bitten\util\beep.py", line 311, in _handle_frame
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\bitten\util\beep.py", line 465, in handle_data_frame
  File "build\bdist.win32\egg\bitten\slave.py", line 126, in handle_msg
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'z:\\temp\\bitten\\Windows_r58.tar.bz2'

So I added

os.chmod(archive_path, S_IWRITE)

in front of line 126​ of slave.py. (Cause the file was read-only) After doing that there was the same error on the finally clause that deleted the file. So I added it there again. Now I'm getting errors like:

[INFO    ] Build completed successfully
[ERROR   ] [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'z:\\temp\\bitten\\Windows_r59.tar.bz2'

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'z:\\temp\\bitten\\Windows_r59.tar.bz2'

I get no logs back to the master. Is that what it is supposed to do? (on Windows?)

[Johannes Rudolph <johannes_rudolph@…>]

Ok, it seems the problem was that I had old files in my temp directory. (From Builds gone wrong). I think this should be handled more gracefully. And the problem with missing logs remains...

As part of [702], I've included better reporting for os-level errors that prevent proper spawning of processes (see also #346). Even though log may be empty, latest implementation of execute() should provide the error on the step.
