Cache write error on Ubuntu 8.04

Ok, I tried with a virtualized Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Parallels Desktop), and both with ActiveSupport 2.1.0 and 2.1.1, it works for me.

I also tried with irb to use File#atomic_write, and everything it's ok.

Is because the temp directory is not on the same filesystem as the file trying to write (virtualized is on the same, I suppose):

http://api.rubyonrails.com/class...

I think a:

File.atomic_write("uno.txt", "./") do |file|

file.write("hello")

end

specifying a explicit different temporary directory (in the same filesystem) may solve the issue

Theoretically, Dir#tmpdir should return the first writeable directory declared in certain env variables. If none of those directories are available it should return the current working one. http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/cla...

I applied your fix, I don't care about the tmp dir, for me it's OK to perform all the operations inside ~/.rails/plugins.

I build and attached the gem, please can you download, install and try if it works?

Thank you!

Deleted and installed jodosha-sashimi:

gem install jodosha-sashimi --source=http://gems.github.com

then:

sashimi install git://github.com/jodosha/click-to-globalize.git

Nothing changed in code:

  File.atomic_write(cache_file) do |file|
    file.write(plugins.to_yaml)
  end

same error.

You should install the attached gem with:

(sudo) gem install --local sashimi-0.2.1.gem
