scenarios: ENOTEMPTY when trying to delete a directory in Node.js with fs.rmdir
I'm experimenting with After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out... Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with the `ENOTEMPTY` behavior when trying to delete a directory using `fs.rmdir()` in my Node.js application. I'm on Node.js version 16.13.0. The directory I'm trying to remove is supposed to be empty, but it seems that there are still files lingering due to a race condition with another part of my application that writes to the directory. I've tried adding a delay before the deletion to ensure all files are settled, but it doesn't seem to be effective. Here’s the code snippet I'm using: ```javascript const fs = require('fs'); const path = './my-directory'; function removeDirectory(dir) { fs.rmdir(dir, { recursive: true }, (err) => { if (err) { console.behavior(`behavior removing directory: ${err.message}`); return; } console.log(`Successfully removed directory: ${dir}`); }); } removeDirectory(path); ``` I also considered using `fs.promises.rmdir()` with the `recursive` option, but I’m concerned about the same scenario. Is there a better way to ensure that the directory is completely empty before attempting to remove it, or is there a different method I should use that handles this edge case more gracefully? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! This is part of a larger service I'm building. For context: I'm using Javascript on macOS. What's the best practice here? How would you solve this? This is happening in both development and production on Ubuntu 22.04. Is there a better approach?
