Description
I have been intermittently seeing this error (was thinking possibly due to a race condition), but one of my coworkers started running into this issue repeatedly. Any idea why this could be happening? Reproducing solely on macOS
Code I'm running:
lock_path = '/tmp/locks/my_lock.lock'
with FileLock(lock_path, timeout=0):
...
I see that in _acquire()
the os.O_CREAT
flag is being provided to os.open()
, so shouldn't the file be created if it does not exist?
Sanitized traceback:
