Image write locks file on windows java 11

Hey,

I am currently running into a problem (and also in the past) where image write locks the image file in windows and thus make it not possible to call fileMove. The test I have now is:

var test_image = imageReadBase64("base64 image");
test_image.write("path", 1, true);

or

cfimage(source="#test_image#" destination="path" action="write" overwrite="true");

once I have run this code I cannot remove the file in windows (only after 5/10 minutes or longer).

The problem I am having is that I want to move the file after this code to a new path, but it doesn’t let me because I get a “Can’t delete resource” message. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Don’t forget to tell us about your stack!

This has been resolved as part of a full rewrite in v2

Hey,

Thanks for the quick response! I’ve updated the image extension to “2.0.0.23-RC” but the problem is sadly still here, I even did a restart of Lucee. Somehow the write function locks the file and I don’t know why.

I am now thinking of rewriting it with fileCopy (which does work) and then a schedular function that cleans the temp folder, But that’s obviously not how I want it to work, so I hope a solution exists!

hmmmf, can you file a bug in jira?

@DrunkenMoose The above mentioned Image extension version(1.2.0.3-SNAPSHOT) doesn’t exist. So can you check your installed image extension version and report back here?

Try it with the latest stable release first?

There was a bytecode issue that tied code to the extension version it was compiled against which was resolved in 5.3.10

Hmm that’s odd as I am sure I copied it, but you are right I cannot find that version, but I updated it to “2.0.0.23-RC” and the issue still persisted.

Currently I have rewritten it as a fileCopy (so there is no delete in the background) with a schedular task that empties the temp folder every night (I had some haste as it needed to be resolved). But thanks for giving the info, perhaps later I can take another look as why it locks. It has to be the plugin as I did a very simple example containing two lines of code. So perhaps another version will help! Thanks for now.
