Directory management issue with PreTeXt CLI 2.3+ on Windows

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

With both 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 I am getting an error when building on Windows as follows:

error: Unable to release temporary directories.  Please report this error to pretext-support
critical: There were errors during the build.  See above.
critical: Failed to build without errors.  Exiting...

There's nothing more in the log, so I thought I should run with debugging turned on for more details.

BUT! But... with debugging on there are no errors, because debugging leaves the temp directories behind.

So it seems that the CLI can create the temp directories, but can't remove them when it's done for some reason.

I have the exact same issue now.  My project now fails to build.  Is there a resolution for this?

I've figured out that the problem is isolated to directories that are backed up by OneDrive. 

If you use a local folder that you don't allow OneDrive to see, then you should be able to build without errors. 

If that's not an option, you'll need to run with the -v debug flag.

Thanks for this.  This isn't my resolution, so I will keep searching.

Alright, this just happened to me again.  This time, I made zero changes to my files, and I got these critical errors with no output.

What if you use the debug flag? 

E.g. 'pretext -v debug build web'
