Random "Error creating dbcmd temporary file"

[stephenrjr]

From time to time (not with every disc I rip), I receive an error like this:

Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'Track 10' to '/Users/stephen/Music Copies/secure/MP3 (160, no art)/Chris Isaak/Heart Shaped World/10 - In The Heat Of The Jungle.mp3'
   Error creating dbcmd temporary file '/var/folders/qw/wgx0172d26jgcndyvh6l6k0h0000gn/T/dBpoweramp-Music-Converter-temp/dBTXTempFile-63860-176.tmp'

Usually, it's one or two tracks on a disc, and when I re-rip the failed tracks, everything works fine.

Race condition on tmp files?

UPDATE: Another example,different disc - Track 3

...but same encoder with the error.

Re: Random "Error creating dbcmd temporary file"

Plenty of free space on that drive? on which the tmp folder resides.

Thanks for the bug report.

Please try:

https://www.dbpoweramp.com/beta/DMC-beta-2023-03-10.dmg

I added more detailed logging of why this condition happens, please post a new log.
It looks like a temp file race condition but I can't quite see how it's possible (unique name is reliably generated each time using proper methods).

Re: Random "Error creating dbcmd temporary file"

If the problem stopped happening with the new build, please say so.
I included some potential-fix changes too, didn't think they would help though.

I've been traveling but will have time over the weekend to run some tests.

@PeterP Checking back to see if you need any further testing.

I've been using the 2023-03-10 Beta you shared and have not been able to reproduce the race condition.
