LocalCopy: Error copying moon image - The process cannot access the file

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Post by alexvanuxem »

In the latest errors every minute I get

2024-12-24 14:15:00 - LocalCopy: Error copying moon image - The process cannot access the file 'C:\CumulusMX\web\moon.png' because it is being used by another process.
2024-12-24 14:15:00 - LocalCopy: Error copying NOAA reports - The process cannot access the file 'C:\CumulusMX\reports\NOAAMO1224.txt' because it is being used by another process.

the local copy I set to C:\CumulusMX\web\moon.png
and C:\CumulusMX\reports\

cheers

Could you switch on debug logging and then post the log file after the error occurs.

The log shows...

Code: Select all

2024-12-30 07:00:00.910 LocalCopy: Copying Moon image file to web\moon.png
2024-12-30 07:00:00.910 LocalCopy: Error copying moon image - The process cannot access the file 'C:\CumulusMX\web\moon.png' because it is being used by another process.
So, you are trying to copy the moon.png to itself, which is why the file is in use.

The relative destination path is "web\moon.png", the full path for which will be "C:\CumulusMX\web\moon.png"

The same applies to your NOAA reports in the first post - you are trying to copy them back to the source.
