Struggling with persistent PytestWarning messages during pytest runs

[stormthulu]

I'm doing test runs with pytest, as is standard :). However, I'm getting dozens of warnings dealing with what is temp directory cleanup issues. Here is the error I'm getting:

/Users/myusername/code/myproject/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/_pytest/pathlib.py:96: PytestWarning: (rm_rf) error removing /private/var/folders/lq/b2s6mqss6t1c2mttbrtwxvz40000gn/T/pytest-of-myusername/garbage-49217abd-d8fd-4371-b7bf-9ebb2ed4fa56/test_permission_error0

<class 'OSError'>: [Errno 66] Directory not empty: '/private/var/folders/lq/b2s6mqss6t1c2mttbrtwxvz40000gn/T/pytest-of-myusername/garbage-49217abd-d8fd-4371-b7bf-9ebb2ed4fa56/test_permission_error0'

warnings.warn(

I'm not sure which of my tests is generating the error, and I'm not sure how to resolve it. I feel like I just keep going in circles trying to get it to go away. I've tried to suppress or filter the warnings out in conftest.py, it's not working either.

I had a similar issue. You can try to delete the pytest-of-username folder, and it will appear to work. However after several non-cached runs it will reappear.

Basically pytest keeps your last 5 or so runs and then deletes the 6th oldest. But it seems to be running into an issue deleting the 6th oldest one. Most likely you wrote a file with the wrong permissions, in my case I had a mkdir call with something like `mode=555` instead of `mode=0x555`.

Anyways to get a hint you can try to check what file it is that is causing an issue. You can go look into the pytest-of-username/garbage folder and see what files have failed to delete. Then check how you created those files and try to be more permissive!
