Error: spawn ETXTBSY

[dmedinag]

I'm getting this error when attempting to use the browserstack runner in my CI/CD pipeline:

Error: spawn ETXTBSY
    at ChildProcess.spawn (internal/child_process.js:357:11)
    at spawn (child_process.js:525:9)

It looks like a similar issue was filed in other repo from Browserstack with the same error.

I am struggling with the same problem where browserstack-runner is reporting an ETXTBSY error (see https://travis-ci.org/tus/tus-js-client/jobs/566880643#L321). Would it be possible to fix this?

@dmedinag - Could you provide some more details around the issue you are facing?

• What CI server are you using? (eg- CircleCI, Jenkins, TravisCI, Azure, etc)
• What are the parameters passed to the BrowserStackLocal binary when it is started?
• Are you facing this error while running a single test or while executing tests in parallel?

Also, can you delete the old browserstack-runner package and try installing it again ?
npm install browserstack-runner

You may also try to upgrade the package -
npm upgrade browserstack-local

Do attached verbose logs, if any

I can't tell for @dmedinag but we get the same error when running this script (https://github.com/tus/tus-js-client/blob/master/bin/browserstack-jasmine.js) on Travis CI. It basically just calls browserstackRunner.run and handles the callback. The version of browserstack-runner is 0.9.0. I hope that helps you a bit.

I'm afraid I can't replicate the issue anymore since the code generating it is from a previous position :/ I'm not working there anymore and don't have access to the code. Sorry guys

The problem is solved for me by upgrading the browserstack-runner package and its dependencies. I also had to clean the build caches on Travis CI. Thank you very much for the help!

I'm still running into this issue with the latest browserstack-runner and cleared build caches on Travis CI: https://travis-ci.org/openpgpjs/openpgpjs/jobs/583375490#L279.

The ETXTBSY problem resurfaced for me again and I opened a PR for a fix: #217

@twiss You can try my solution by installing the fork using npm install git://github.com/Acconut/browserstack-runner.git#fix_etxtbsy --save-dev.
