"Permission denied @ sys_fail2 (Err no::EACCES)" if reading id3 from file just before moving the file

[illtellyoulater]

song = "song.mp3"
artist = "artist name"

Mp3Info.open(song) { |mp3info|
  puts mp3info 
  # correctly shows info
}

Dir.mkdir(artist) unless File.exists?(artist)
File.rename("./#{song}", "./#{artist}/#{song}" 
# moving file to a subfolder named according to artist name

Last command outputs:

in `rename': Permission denied @ sys_fail2 (Err no::EACCES)

If I remove the MP3Info block completely everything works and I see no errors. Same if I use Mp3Info on the file after moving the file to the new folder.

Can it be due to the file still being in use by Mp3Info when trying to move it?

Don't know if it's related to https://github.com/moumar/ruby-mp3info/issues/41

How to fix this? Thanks

hi! do you know why the File.rename() fails ? I mean, what kind of permission problem is it ?

[illtellyoulater]

@moumar judging from "Err no::EACCES" I'd say that it has problems acquiring the access to the file.

[moumar]

thanks. And what are the file permissions just before the 'rename' ? Are you under windows ?

[illtellyoulater]

Yes sorry, I'm on Windows 7, 64bit.
