EACCES (Permission denied) when livesync Angular projects on Samsung devices

[NickIliev]

From @S4M37 on February 3, 2017 14:27

I'm using NativeScript 2.5.0 with Angular2, using android platform with building tool 25.0.2, I'm testing on a device, and tns doctor no issues are found. So my problem is when running 'tns run android' the app is launched but no changes are applied, here is the log

Project successfully prepared (android)

Also experiencing this error after updating to 2.5

[ghost]

Had the same problem. Removing and adding again the android platform fixed the error, but now the app crashes for the tiniest UI changes without any error. I have to restart the app every time to get it working again.

[S4M37]

I had already tried removing the platform and re-adding it, but the problem still persisting.

[rhanb]

Same here ! Problem also occured without using Angular.

[Plamen5kov]

@alpinparker @S4M37 @rhanbIT @RaphaelJenni, can you provide steps to reproduce. What devices are you using?

[RaphaelJenni]

Can't reproduce it. Happens from time to time and then I have to restart the app. (tns run android)
I'm using the android emulator. Haven't tried it on a physical device.

[RaphaelJenni]

Happened again:

Transferring project files...
Unable to sync files. Error is: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\_Projects\_NativeScript\project\platforms\android\src\main\assets\app\tns_modules\sharp\build\Release\obj\libvips-cpp\libvips-cpp.tlog\link-VCTIP.delete.93.tlog'

The folder sharp doesn't exist. Is sharp a necessary import? Added it now to the dependencies ("sharp": "^0.16.2"). I will keep you updated if it changes anything.

[S4M37]

I'm testing on Samsung Galaxy S7, android 6.0.1
I run tns run android, it builds the app, installs it on device then after each changes the app is refreshed but without synchronizing files with the same error mentioned in the issue, to synchronize files I stop the processes and re-run tns run android.

[AbbeYassine]

same issue , testing on genymotion Google Nexus 7 API 22 emulator .

[smarza]

same here, using Samsung Note 7 device.

[rosen-vladimirov]

Hey guys,
The issue reported by @S4M37 is in fact two separate issues.
The first one: Unable to sync files. Error is: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\S4M37\Desktop\CrossPlatform\project\platforms\android\src\main\assets\app\modules\feed\item\feed.item.css___jb_tm p___' should be resolved with our incoming 2.5.1 release.

The other one:
02-03 15:16:18.562 5693 5693 W System.err: remove failed: EACCES (Permission denied) : /data/local/tmp/org.nativescript.project/sync/tns_modules/rxjs/src/observable/dom/MiscJSDoc.ts is something specific for some devices, I believe mostly Samsung ones. I'm still unable to reproduce it on my side, so most probably we'll release 2.5.1 without fix for this. Once we reproduce the problem, we'll provide a fix as soon as possible. In order to help us, can you please try reproducing the EACCESS error with tns run android --log trace and send us the output of the command when the error happened.
After that, try executing the following:

$ adb shell -s <device id>
$ cd /data/local/tmp/
$ ls -la
$ cd <app id> (for example `cd org.nativescript.project`)
$ ls -al
$ ls -al sync

and send us the output of all these commands. This will help us to detect the permissions of the files and to understand what migth cause this issue.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there , am already signed up on Github and I tried to run those commands on the Github Command Line Interface ,but not able to know how to install the nativescript cli. Regards, Palak Grover

On Sat, Feb 18, 2017 at 2:18 PM, Angel Tsvetkov ***@***.***> wrote: Hi Guys, In regards of the second error I think I figured out why this happens. In my AndroidManifest.xml file in my NativeScript project the android:minSdkVersion="17". There is a user permission for write external storage: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_ STORAGE"/> According to Android documentation WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE starting in API level 19 is not required to read/write files in your application-specific directories (documentation <https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE>). My test device is Samsung Galaxy S5 with Android 6.0.1 (API 23). I think that the issue comes when you request user permission WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on Android API > 18. The solution I found is to set android:maxSdkVersion="18" attribute to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE user-permission (documentation <https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-permission-element.html>) so it looks like: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="18"/> Don't forget to remove platform (tns platform remove android) and then re-run your app. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Hey everyone,
We've released NativeScript 2.5.1, can you give it a try and see if it resolves your issues? In order to update your CLI's installation, please execute:

$ npm install -g nativescript@latest

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

[S4M37]

Thx, when updating to nativescript 2.5.1 the sync file issue is resolved for me. And thx for @Palak5034 too because his solution resolves the EACCES issues.

[rosen-vladimirov]

Hey @S4M37 , can you give some information how did you resolve the EACCESS issue, so other users reading this thread will be able to find the solution as well.

[S4M37]

I resolved it by editing the AndroidManifest.xml of the App_resources, by excluding the permission check for Android Api >18 with :
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" android:maxSdkVersion="18"/>
according to @Palak5034 comment on this issue

[rhanb]

Fix the issue for me on Linux 😄

Hey all, would you try our 3.0 RC (nativescript@rc) release and check if you still experience these problems and if so write back with specific steps to reproduce.
@jwuliger @dxshindeo @smarza @AbbeYassine @danieljohngomez @RaphaelJenni

[ferryfax]

I was getting this error so I installed the 3.0 RC on Windows 10. I then created a new project using the tns create MyApp --template tns-template-hello-world-ng@rc command. Still got the same error with tns run android on my Galaxy S6. Doesn't seem to stop the app from running. Only does this on my phone, the emulator is fine.

I can confirm what @ferryfax says.
It happens only on some Samsung devices and it does not stop lives sync, it is just error on console.

[Plamen5kov]

@ferryfax please give it a try with latest cli: npm install -g nativescript@next

It looks livesync works (at least in basic scenarios), but we still log a log of errors.

@dtopuzov can you give me the steps to reproduce and the API level and model of the device you tested on.

[dtopuzov]

@Plamen5kov Galaxy S6 Edge, Android 6.0

Steps:

tns create TestApp
tns run android
change app.css (change theme from light to dark)
change main-view-model.js (replace counter from 42 to 52)

[rosen-vladimirov]

The new LiveSync with sockets, that will be used in CLI 4.2.0 will resolve this issue.
In order to give it a try, you need both latest CLI and latest android runtime.
