EPERM error during bower install - already running as administrator

[cortfritz]

Hi I got the following dump on Win8.1 during the bower install portion of angular.js setup. My command prompt was already running as administrator (i.e. I looked at #3965).

Here is the dump:

Hi,
could you try again with an older version of angular?
E.g. https://github.com/angular/angular.js/tree/v1.0.x

[cortfritz]

sure will try now

[cortfritz]

that worked, thank you.

[mary-poppins]

Hi @cortfritz,
I didn't mean that you should switch to Angular 1.0.x (which you did by cloning https://github.com/angular/angular.js/tree/v1.0.x), it was just to doublecheck that the problem didn't exist in 1.0.x.

So do you still have the problem with the master branch?

[cortfritz]

yay, so glad that I misunderstood. I didn't want to live in 1.0-land. Although I did get 1.0 to build.

I will retry w/ master branch.

[cortfritz]

getting odd error:
C:\Users\cofritz\Documents\GitHub\angular.js>bower install
bower no-json No bower.json file to save to, use bower init to create one

bower.json definitely exists.
{
"name": "AngularJS",
"devDependencies": {
"jquery": "1.10.2",
"lunr.js": "0.4.0",

"bootstrap": "https://raw.github.com/twbs/bootstrap/v2.0.2/docs/assets/bootstrap.zip",

}
}

bower install wasn't doing anything (as described above)

presuming this was no longer a necessary step. (?)

went ahead w/ grunt package which completed (had to use --force to get around EPERM rename issue)

grunt test:e2e fails as follows:

You have to run grunt test.
And yes, bower install is no more needed.

Could you try again?

[tbosch]

Assigning to @petebacondarwin as he has a Windows machine :-)

i tested on my machine (windows7 64bit), still failing to install and compile.

Stack trace:
Error: EPERM, rename 'C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\xxxxx\bower\closure-compiler-7552-lUMVRc'

System info:
Bower version: 1.2.8
Node version: 0.10.22
OS: Windows_NT 6.1.7601 ia32

i also tried grunt package without bower, failing with the same error.
Not sure why, but it seems like a problem with "rename" something?

[angi-]

I also tested on my Windows 7 64bit and I get the same EPERM warning when I run grunt to every version of AngularJS after 1.2.0 rc1. I last tested with v1.2.9:

Warning: EPERM, rename 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\xxx\bower\ng-closure-runner-9984-hZPTCF'
Use --force to continue.

What I was able to find by browsing the path is this: the user folder in C:\Users\ is not my current user, it looks like an old MS-DOS shortened version of it (ANGELI~1.SIR instead of angelin.sirbu), maybe this is significant somehow?

[jamesdaily]

Similar issue here:

Warning: EPERM, rename 'C:\Users\JAMES_~1\AppData\Local\Temp\compname-username\bower\ng-closure-runner-5872-g0XI0D' Use --force to continue.

Edit: Nevermind, Pete figured it out: #5502 (comment)

(roll back to Bower version 1.2.6)
