Christian,

Sorry for the delayed response!

I got around it at the time by dropping and regenerating the database.

Today I created test files that while "open" in another application, database was successfully created.

If I have a pending edit (file not saved) BaseX picks that up but says:

Error: Resource "/persist/home/patrick/working/test/matt1/.#matt1.xml (No such file or directory" not found

In that case the database is NOT created. Probably shouldn't be.

Try having a an edit on one of the open files (this is on Debian).

Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Patrick,

If files are locked, it should usually be no problem to open them. Could you possibly describe to us how we can reproduce this behavior?

Thanks in advance Christian

Greetings!

My mistake but I had one file out of 27 open in an editor when I tried to create a new database across the file set.

Got the error message that basex 10.0 could not find (file-name), so I chose ok.

Apparently basex failed at that point and did not skip the open file. No database was created.

Not a problem because I closed the file and re-ran new but curious if that is the expected behavior?

Or should it skip the locked file?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Patrick
