Intermittent error E FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory on lock file

[otrejoso]

Occasionally, we are getting the following error E FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/private/var/folders/l8/4lzs8dfx2ps1p1rdhlz8h2_40000gn/T/pytest-of-localadmin/garbage-8d871a48-8450-41da-b378-b01aa7c7d35b/.lock'
There is no really much backtracke, but tends to repro once in a while in some of our jenkins machines. I have seen this happening in all of our supported OS (Windows Mac and Linux)

Any ideas? or suggestions?

Thanks

I am facing the same issue. It started after we updated from pytest 5.0.1 to 5.4.1. The issue happens more often in my case, only on Jenkins and on one particular and simple test:

def test_create_venv(tmp_path):
    os.chdir(tmp_path)
    create_file()
    assert os.path.isfile('/path/to/file')

I guess the test does not matter as the Error is at setup. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Maybe due to #6987?
Try pinning pytest and/or not use xdist for now.

[ibozhilov]

Yeah, seems that the issue is the same. Thanks for linking and the quick response.

Closing as duplicate of #6987.
