I've got this little snip of code:
(define p "/tmp/foo/bar-28")
(file-exists? p) ; #t
(delete-file p)
(file-exists? p) ; still #t ??
I've verified that:
*) It's not throwing an exception
*) The code is running as me
*) The /tmp directory is 777 [I'm on OSX 10.11]
*) The file itself is 666, although that shouldn't matter
*) The file is owned by me
*) p is a string
*) p points to the correct file
*) There are no leading or trailing whitespace characters
*) If I run this code from inside a command-line Racket REPL, it works fine
and the file is deleted
*) If I replace (delete-file) with (system @~a{rm -f @p}) it works fine
I thought maybe there was something weird about the /tmp directory, so I
tried putting the target in a different directory
(/Users/dstorrs/tmp/foo/bar-28) but that made no difference.
I've tried googling on the general net and in the mailing list archives and
found nothing. I am utterly flummoxed here; can anyone suggest anything?
