Subject: apply start-process fails because of invalid current directory
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2013 09:46:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86zjt3p3x6.fsf@free.fr> (raw)
Hello,
From time to time i encounter problems with commands running
start-process for ex. eimp-start-process. Trace follows:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Setting current directory"
"no such file or directory" "y:/")
start-process("eimp-5468Kgf" nil "mogrify" "-resize" "66%"
"c:/Users/pascalq/AppData/Local/Temp/eimp-5468x-x")
apply(start-process "eimp-5468Kgf" nil "mogrify" ("-resize" "66%"
"c:/Users/pascalq/AppData/Local/Temp/eimp-5468x-x"))
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Problem occurs on Windows. Directory y:/ was a removable device
which is no more connected. I have read/written to that directory
before calling start-process. When I connect the device again
start-process runs fine. I have looked through apropos-value for y:/
but I don't see anything valuable.
