I am trying to save a simple HTML file in GitHub's Atom text editor, but I get the following error:
Unable to save file 'C:\Users\Alexander\Desktop\Looking good website\products.html'
EBUSY: resource busy or locked, open 'C:\Users\Alexander\Desktop\Looking good website\products.html'
This seems to be a known issue when I check the atom git repo. See here.
Now somehow even though there are multiple issues opened with the same problem on the atom git repo I don't see a solution.
How do I solve this error?
I am not sure how to replicate this issue but initially the file was saving fine, but now suddenly I have this problem and I don't see any obvious solution.

Error in Atom :
What i see in process explorer::
For some reason Atom doesn't want to save files, that you have currently open in your Windows Explorer. At least that was the issue on my workspace.
I was able to solve this issue by closing all applications using the file. I was viewing a webpage locally, so I killed the browser and windows explorer then Atom let me save the file.
Hate to necro an old thread but I just ran into this myself and believe I have found the problem; the Preview Pane in Windows Explorer.
Either deselect the file in Explorer after opening or turn off the preview pane altogether.
Get Process Explorer from LINK and use Ctrl+F to find the process keeping the file open (see MS support link)
Then tell me what you see, and I'll expand the answer :)
My anti-virus (Bitdefender) thought atom.exe was an unsafe application so it kicked on Ransomware protection.
Hope this helps somebody
I’ve been having the same issue, and I found what was causing it for me.
I had Windows Defender Ransomware Protection enabled on my computer, and I was trying to save to a protected folder. Even though I had whitelisted the atom app, and didn’t receive the usual warning from Windows, it was preventing me from writing to the location. Disabled Ransomware protection, and suddenly Atom can save there again.
Not sure if you’re in the same boat, but maybe give it a try if you have Ransomware Protection enabled. Or maybe some other anti-virus with the same feature?

I installed the Atom Software when I opened it I saw only white windows :((
Somebody can help me !?
When you see Atom looking like this, it's usually because something went wrong with Atom loading the stored data from last session. If you click on the Console tab, you'll see an error message.
You should take a look at the Debugging section of the Flight Manual. The most likely solution to your problem is to open Atom while clearing the stored data. From the command line, you can use atom --clear-window-state, which will wipe out all unsaved files and state data from your previous session.
If you share the error message with us, I will revise this answer to address the specific problem if it's something that I know about.
I am getting strange and annoying behavior in one (yes, only one) of my RStudio projects. Whenever I restart the R session within this project, I can no longer save any of the files, and when I try to (or RStudio tries to automatically) I get a popup error saying "The system cannot find the file specified" and I have to reopen the project and all of the R scripts.
I looked at the log file, and I see a lot of the following error:
07 Oct 2015 00:52:05 [rsession-Mark] ERROR system error 5 (Access is denied) [path=C:/Users/Mark/GoogleDrive/Research/CEQUAL_event/.Rproj.user/5E5F98D9/sdb/s-26E44539/lock_file];
OCCURRED AT: bool rstudio::core::FilePath::exists() const C:\Users\Administrator\rstudio\src\cpp\core\FilePath.cpp:308;
LOGGED FROM: bool rstudio::core::FilePath::exists() const C:\Users\Administrator\rstudio\src\cpp\core\FilePath.cpp:308
It looks like the problem may be in the .Rproj.user folder. So I deleted that and let RStudio regenerate it, but the behavior started right back up again.
I am using Windows 7, RStudio version 0.99.441, and R version 3.2.2.
I think #Jack Wasey is right: Google drive locks files during sync. This causes many issues with other programs as well. There are alternatives from companies that do file syncing for a living, such as dropbox, whose clients don't lock files. With google drive you only have the option to use selective sync and exclude every .Rproj.user folder. Once the RStudio's database is corrupted, moving the project out of the Google drive folder won't be enough - you will need to delete/rename it to have RStudio fix its database.
Summary:
Copy contents from all unsaved files to a temp file outside of RStudio (while clicking away the error message every other second)
Quit Rstudio
Pause Google drive syncing
Rename (or move/delete) the hidden .Rproj.user folder in your project
Reopen the project in Rstudio
Exclude the new .Rproj.user folder from syncing with Google drive (Preferences -> sync only these folders)
Remember that Google drive is free / Become an awesome google developer and fix the issue once and for all
May not be related but might be helpful to someone else. I was getting the same error (over and over) and finally realized that I had an R session open from days ago, that had eventually gotten stuck. It was running in the background with a "Fatal Error" message waiting for me to click OK. When I closed that session everything started working again.
This was happening to me as well, but curiously only when I was using Project files (.Rproj - not stand alone R scripts). It was driving me crazy.
I found that buried in the settings (Tools -> Global Options -> Git/SVN) there was a setting "Enable Version Control Interface for RStudio Projects). I guess I had turned that option on when I was messing with my settings and then forgot about it since I don't normally use project files.
What worked for me was I noticed DescTools package I installed caused it, though it served the purpose I installed it - fetched me mode value without going through mode functions. I then deleted the line I got the install.package, re-saved the project (ctrl S) and I could knit it.
Bottom line, read the error message soon as the box pops up, it's going to give you a hint of what line is causing the issue.
I hope this works. Enjoy
I'm new to ASP.NET and have been working through some tutorials in VS 2013. I just tried to open up Nuget by clicking on Website > Manage Nuget Packages, but got this error message:
"Operation failed. Unable to locate solution directory. Please ensure that the solution has been saved."
I can't seem to find anything online about how to fix this, and Nuget is definitely installed and everything is saved. Any thoughts?
In VS2010 ctrl+shift+S saves everything.
Selecting the solution in the Solution Explorer and then choose
File | Save
saves the solution.
Keep in mind that if you donwload files from the internet those files can be blocked. You can unblock them by going to the properties of the file in the windows explorer and click unblock. Or you could use powershell as shown in this question
Seems to be since updating Aptana 3.4 (3.4.0.201304151603 to be precise) that it regularly freezes up - greys out and displays "Not responding".
It doesn't freeze up straight away, usually after editing and saving for a few minutes. Generally seems to freeze while editing code, usually PHP.
My log file did report issues with the Subversion plugin, but I've since removed this entirely and still face the same issues.
My OS is Windows 7 32-bit.
Any suggestions on how to remedy such problems in Aptana would be greatly appreciated as this renders it pretty useless :(.
Deleting the log file seems to work for me.
Its full of pretty useless stuff for a regular user anyway and when it gets too big - boom: not responding.
Try deleting the log file ( /[yourworkspace]/.metadata/.log ),
emptying your windows temp folder (C:\Users[your user name]\AppData\Local\Temp) and run aptana as an administrator (you can make this default behaviour by editing the properties of the task bar / start menu icon for Aptana)
Maybe a new version will come out with a fix for this OR the option to turn off logging completely. Its the log file causing this issue for sure.
Do you use a git repository? Mine is freezing, too, but when I rename the .git directory to something else, the freezing stops. I'm on Aptana Studio 3, build: 3.4.0.201304151603. It's very annoying because I do use git. I haven't been able to track down exactly what about the git integration is causing this.
So I have been having the same problem with Aptana Studio 3. I have followed this set of instructions found here:
http://youtu.be/RYobTLq_hms?list=UUtL_0WLPWmHZE_HcX48F96w
Or here are the instructions if you do not want a video to watch...
Goto www.JAVA.com/en/download/ and download the newest Java Runtime Environment
Open up C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Aptana Studio 3\AptanaStudio3.ini with anything but notepad (Open with WordPad or Notepad++)
BEFORE the -vmargs line add:
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
... then SAVE and CLOSE
4 . Finally open Aptana Studio 3. Now your problem should be solved and Aptana should be pointing to the newest version of JAVA.
I hope that this fix helps you as much as it has helped me!
Deleting the log file didn't work for me, but when viewing the log file, it talked about
The workspace exited with unsaved changes in the previous session; refreshing workspace to recover changes.
So I deleted the workspace file (/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml) which just stores what files you had open when you closed the application and the problem was installed solved (with seeminly no unexpected side-effects)
I still have this problem. It seems more often than not it hangs on startup. Win 7 64bit. One time I deleted the .metadata folder, then recreated a blank one it it worked. but it no longer works. One time I rebooted the system and it worked. The fix that works 1 time doesn't the next.
Adding the lines:
-vm
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\*javaversion*\bin\
to the .ini file:
C:\Users\*youruser*\AppData\Roaming\Appcelerator\Aptana Studio\AptanaStudio3.ini
solved the freezing issue for me.
I am using VS2010 on Windows XP pro (sp3, x86), and I just installed the hotfix kb2106584. This fix was reported by some people, example here, as having a fix for an issue I had with Asp.Net Development Server not getting opened properly from VS, which I was having previously. My issue was being caused by ESET NOD32 messing with the http traffic from devenv.exe and causing all the ports in my computer to get used up, however.
Anyway, as soon as that was finished, I opened my website back up, and clicked debug. Asp.Net Dev server pops up, which was what the hotfix was supposed to make happen, and then notepad++ opens with the tabs I had last time I used it, and IE never shows up. "Wait, what?" try it again. and again. Always notepad++, never IE, always with no new documents opened, just some completely unrelated stuff.
I've seen one other post on SO about this happening, here, but his issue was corrupted files/filesystem. My project is in source control, so I tried a delete&revert to yesterday's revision. Still opens notepad++, so that's not my issue.
I've also tried rebuilding, which did nothing, and deleting my local Solution files, which also did nothing. I restarted the program and then the computer, both to no avail.
I start to believe that this is the hotfix screwing things up, so I try to do a system restore to a couple days ago. Once again, no dice; it's still pulling up notepad++ instead of IE.
So, the questions become:
Is there a setting or two I can try changing to make it open the proper program again?
Or was this a bad/improper hotfix, and if so, how do I uninstall it? It doesn't show up in the Add/Remove Programs dialog, and I don't see an option to uninstall it in VS, or in the installer.
Thanks in advance.
[edit] Also note: Notepad++ is not actually opening the website file, it's just getting opened with whatever I left in it last time. I dunno if this helps at all, but I felt like details would be appreciated. [/edit]
Fixed:
Uninstalling n++, deleting EVERY registry entry & folder containing 'notepad++' (except one, from whose string I removed ";notepad++.exe"), then reinstalling n++ made VS stop opening notepad++.
Now it opens the default web-browser again.
[edit]
Note for anyone else out there who ends up with this specific and bizarre problem:
It would be worth a shot to try changing the "Browse With..." setting in VS, by r-clicking on Default.aspx to "Internet Explorer". My list included Notepad++ as an available internet browser.
This might be a better solution than the previous, if it does in fact work.
I didn't know this setting would allow Notepad++ as an option until I had to set it back to IE again after all this, and that may have been the problem all along. Apparently, VS just changes this setting sometimes. How or why N++ got put in as an internet browser is completely beyond me, but I did myself the favor of 'Remove'ing NotePad++ from the list, and you may wish to do the same.
Again, I'll never truly know whether or not I nuked everything when I could have changed a single setting that got mysteriously reset, but may this [lesson?] at least be recorded for posterity.
[/edit]
It took all of that to figure out that it [was?] a bogus registry entry somewhere that [may have been?] modified by the hotfix; a registry entry that neither notepad++ nor visual studio 2010 ultimate would clean up on uninstall or replace on reinstall
Which was it? I have no idea. Like I said, I didn't even use n++ this week until VS started opening it for me, and the only change I made was to install that hotfix.
