Commented Unassigned: Issue with AsyncExec task [12275]

Hi, I seem to be getting an internal error with the AsynxExec task. It is intermittent.

From the build log - on this occasion I happen to be trying to execute a batch file in this example, but it fails with the same error on other tasks. I'm using version 3.5

Am I the only one with this issue ?

This is a bug in AsyncExec. Specifically in CreateBatchProgram. The file created by GetTempFileName() is guaranteed to be unique at the time of creation. However, by renaming the file to .bat the old filename can be reused without violating this contract. When you go to rename again (with Move) there is a conflict, and the error reported here.

For example...
AsyncExec #1
GetTempFileName picks file0001.tmp. It's unused so it returns this file.
Move renames to file0001.tmp.bat
AsyncExec #2
GetTempFileName picks file0001.tmp. It's unused so it returns this file.
Move tries to rename to file0001.tmp.bat and FAILS.

Without the rename in AsyncExec #1, AsyncExec #2 looks like this:
GetTempFileName picks file0001.tmp. It's used, so increment to file0002.tmp. That one is unused so it returns this file.
