It's like there's a bad cache somewhere, but I can't find it. Any ideas? I thought it was supposed to be in my user profile (.pub_cache) I can't seem to find it anywhere else.

For example. I was able to recover a few of the packages by redirecting pubspec.yaml dependencies to pub.dartlang.org, but the one I don't have published there is still not updating.

fixed. I was able to find the cache (location changed I guess) using a symlink extension.

Crap, yes, sorry. The location of the system cache changed. That was a result of fixing that "null" directory bug. It now puts the system cache in a Windows-friendly location: AppData/Roaming/Pub/Cache.

cc-ing Keerti since this may be an issue with how the Editor deletes directories.

I'll try to repro and see what I can figure out. I'm really sorry for the trouble here, especially the file deletion (!). That's definitely not something we want pub or the editor to do.

No problem guys, I knew that cache had to be somewhere! :)

Hey do I need to open a new bug on the folder deletion piece? Also the editor can get hung up when moving folders (that have packages/) sometimes.

@john, If you can reproduce the editor hang on close/delete/move folders, do open an issue for editor with steps to repro and we will look into it.

Well it's intermittent. Sometimes it works (when I cross my fingers and squint hard enough). Sometimes in hangs the editor indefinitely, with the working dialog still displayed. Again this is only when operating on folders that have a /packages replica.

Hey do I need to open a new bug on the folder deletion piece?

No, I'll consider this bug to be about that, thanks.

Hey, John. What's the status of this? I think I got confused on this thread. Is the only remaining issue here that the Editor hangs on deleting a folder?

Correct. Folder deletion.

OK, sorry for the confusion. Changing this to be an editor bug then.

@john,

Are you still having issues with folder deletion in editor? Any steps to help repro would be helpful.

I was going to wait until the next weekly comes out and then try again. Will update then.

The problem is not fixed on Windows 7. I just deleted a folder in my project which contained a "packages" folder, now all files in all "packages" folders are gone. The only way to fix it, is deleting the "Pub/Cache/git" folder and run "pub install" again.

Windows 7 64 bit, Dart Editor Build 13679

I just deleted a folder in my project which contained a "packages" folder, now all files in all "packages" folders are gone.

How did you delete the folder? Using Windows Explorer? The Editor? Command line?

This comment was originally written by @bp74

I used the Dart Editor to delete the folder.

Maybe i should add that only the files were gone, all the folders inside of the package were still there.

I think this is likely an editor issue, then. I did notice that src/com/google/dart/tools/core/utilities/io/FileUtilities.java looks like it's doing a naive recursive delete that will walk into symlinks. I don't know if that's the issue or not, though.
