Issue: With updated packages, running test_examples.py sporadically creates empty
rosys.config.json
(persistence for theConfig
class), which breaks the examples that are run afterwards.My best guess is that there is some kind of race condition where the backup function was called and started clearing the file but did not finish before the task was cancelled.
It seems to me that the errors never impacted normal programs.
I was able to (accidentally) lower the chance of the empty write happening by adding some debug prints (see ef750a9).
In the end, I decided to first write to a .tmp file and then rename the file. If the write is somehow cancelled, then only the tmp file will be empty.
Opinions?
