Deleteing file fails after Compressor.decompress()

[BaseRegister]

Simple and clean API but I have an issue.

I am using a test file named fileNane.gz. It is not a compressed file but a text file with the .gz extension. This file seems to be locked by a process when trying to delete.

compressor.decompress(f, new File(f.getParent()) ) throws an exception as expected but I cannot delete the file.

Here is my code:

private boolean decompress(File f) {
    try{
        Compressor compressor = CompressorFactory.createCompressor(f);
        System.out.println("COMPRESSED FILE");

        compressor.decompress(f, new File(f.getParent()) );
        FileUtils.deleteQuietly(f);

        return true;
    }catch(IllegalArgumentException e){

    }catch(FileNotFoundException e){

    }catch (Exception e) {

        System.out.println(f.canExecute()); // is true
        System.out.println(f.canRead()); // is true
        System.out.println(f.canWrite()); // is true
        System.out.println(f.exists()); // is true

        System.out.println(f.delete()); // is false

        System.err.println(e); 
    }

    return false;
}

i can not replicate this on my system. i wrote a junit test:

    @Test
    public void test() throws Exception {
        File source = new File("/tmp/fake.gz");
        assertTrue(source.createNewFile());

        Compressor compressor = CompressorFactory.createCompressor(source);
        try {
            compressor.decompress(source, new File(source.getParent()));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            assertTrue(source.exists());
            assertTrue(source.delete());
            assertFalse(new File("/tmp/fake.gz").exists());
        }
    }

and it runs through properly.

can you specify what environment you working are in?

• operating system
• java version
• in what type of environment are you executing the code?

Thank you for your quick response. I've done more testing and still receive the same error. Maybe it is a problem with the Java version?

Operating System: Windows 7
Java Version: 1.6.0_29
Environment: From Eclipse Luna as a java application. Also tested from Windows command prompt after creating an executable jar.

I've simplified the execution to this:

public static void main(String[] args){
    File f = new File("document.txt.gz");
    System.out.println("Java Version: "+ System.getProperty("java.version"));
    try{
        Compressor compressor = CompressorFactory.createCompressor(f);
        compressor.decompress(f, new File(f.getParent()) );
    }catch(IllegalArgumentException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();    
    }finally{
        System.out.println(f.delete());         
    }       
}
