Hello,
This seems to be a regression from emacs 25.x.
If I have set delete-by-moving-to-trash to t AND trash-directory to a
custom value (there's a qualifier though, read further), I get this error,
but that does not trigger backtrace even after toggle-debug-on-error!
=====
Trashing...
(file-error Non-regular file Is a directory /home/kmodi/.emacs.d/foo)
=====
I was though able to force a backtrace (shown below) after trying to
recreate the same error after evaluating:
(setq debug-on-message "Non-regular")
=====
Debugger entered--Lisp error: "(file-error Non-regular file Is a directory
/home/kmodi/.emacs.d/foo)\n"
message("%s" "(file-error Non-regular file Is a directory
/home/kmodi/.emacs.d/foo)\n")
dired-log-summary("1 of 1 deletion failed" ("/home/kmodi/.emacs.d/foo"))
dired-internal-do-deletions((("/home/kmodi/.emacs.d/foo" . 2827)) nil t)
dired-do-delete(nil)
funcall-interactively(dired-do-delete nil)
call-interactively(dired-do-delete nil nil)
command-execute(dired-do-delete)
=====
Here is the recipe to recreate this in emacs -Q:
1. First evaluate the below
(progn
(setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t)
(setq trash-directory
(let ((dir (concat temporary-file-directory
(getenv "USER") "/.trash_emacs/"))) ;Must end
with /
(mkdir dir :parents)
dir))
(setq debug-on-message "Non-regular"))
2. Now evaluate
;; CASE A
(let ((dir (concat user-emacs-directory "foo/")))
(mkdir dir :parents)
(dired (concat dir "..")))
Now when you move the point to the foo dir, hit D and type yes, you will
get the above pasted backtrace.
Now here is the qualifier piece.. the same error does not happen if I try
to delete a directory in the temporary-file-directory!
So when I evaluate:
;; CASE B
(let ((dir (concat temporary-file-directory "foo/")))
(mkdir dir :parents)
(dired (concat dir "..")))
Then move the point to the foo dir, hit D and type yes, the deletion
(trashing) of that foo directory happens fine without that error.
So with this, CASE A gives error, CASE B does not.
Here's a twist..
Now let's move the trash directory from temporary-file-directory to
user-emacs-directory .. eval the below:
(setq trash-directory
(let ((dir (concat user-emacs-directory "/.trash_emacs/"))) ;Must
end with /
(mkdir dir :parents)
dir))
NOW, CASE A above will work fine, and CASE B will give that error.
My machine is RHEL 6.6. And the drives are NFS mounts. So I don't know
which of the below is true:
- Gives an error if the ORIG directory and TRASH directory are on possibly
different mounts.
- Gives an error if the ORIG and TRASH directory do not have the same root
directory (/home vs /tmp in the above example).
So that is the main bug report.
Side bug report on the fact that the below error does not generate a
backtrace with toggle-debug-on-error.. why is that?
(file-error Non-regular file Is a directory /home/kmodi/.emacs.d/foo)
(Thanks for reading through this whole bug report.. hopefully someone is
able to reproduce this issue and fix it.)
