Description

TYPO3\CMS\Core\Cache\Exception: The temporary cache file "/var/www/.../typo3temp/var/Cache/Code/cache_core/5d499dd925221994946712.temp" could not be written.

It may be a race condition due to parallel requests and should be handle more friendly: "Okay, a temporary error, but go on"

When does this happen / is there a way to reproduce it?

In addition: it might be a temporary error or a deeper problem, we have currently no way to differentiate the two.

When does this happen / is there a way to reproduce it?

  1. Start a long runing script that uses a SimpleFileBackend cache
  2. Clear the file cache by flushing the /cache dir

In my case the long runing scipt is an importer script using some parts of extbase. So the cache in that case would be the extbase reflection cache.

So when is the cache flushed as described above?

I found the follwing 2, but there might be more:

The problem is, that the cache file/directory to use is only initializes once. So if the file/dir is deleted (by an other script) during a long runing script, writing the cache will crash.

The error occurs after the "flushDirectory" call:
https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/9.5/typo3/sysext/install/Classes/Service/ClearCacheService.php#L44

After that the specific cache directory (e.g. var/cache/data/extbase_reflection) will be deleted and this leads to the exception:
https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/9.5/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Cache/Backend/SimpleFileBackend.php#L231

The directory will only be recreated on cache initialization:
https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/9.5/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Cache/Backend/SimpleFileBackend.php#L91

For me it happens for requests while switching a symlinked document root.

This has been on "Needs Feedback" for 3 years. Christoph, can you provide more information on your setup and when this happens?

I don't maintain the system anymore and i don't had this problem in any other system since then.
