value out of range [RangeDefect] in getFileInfo() for a specific file (file handle overflow?) #23442
Description
Description
I meet this error when using monit library where it will fail to watch. After a little inspection I found out that the error does not come from the package it self. It is from the internals getFileInfo() however I could not find where the problem is. So there is a file called test_converter.nim which is a extremely ordinary test file with nothing special, but for god knows why it just cannot be getFileInfo'd.
import os echo os.getFileInfo("C:/Users/mk/Desktop/Suno AI/Ainu/converter-nim/tests/test_converter.nim")I tried to:
- make a copy manually -> Working
- recreate the file manually -> Working
- reconstruct the file from compressed file -> Working
- change other file to the same path and name -> Working
- move the corrupted
test_converter.nimaround -> Error
So this is only the case for the corrupted file, and there must be something different of that file. The data itself does not matter, so there must be some thing weird in file info.
import os echo "Copied file: test_converter2.nim" echo os.getFileInfo("C:/Users/mk/Desktop/Suno AI/Ainu/converter-nim/tests/test_converter2.nim") echo "" echo "Recreated file: test_converter3.nim" echo os.getFileInfo("C:/Users/mk/Desktop/Suno AI/Ainu/converter-nim/tests/test_converter3.nim") echo "" echo "Reconstructed file: test_converter4.nim" echo os.getFileInfo("C:/Users/mk/Desktop/Suno AI/Ainu/converter-nim/tests/test_converter4.nim") echo "" echo "Corrupted file: test_converter.nim" echo os.getFileInfo("C:/Users/mk/Desktop/Suno AI/Ainu/converter-nim/tests/test_converter.nim")yields:

from pathlib import Path file = Path(".\\tests\\test_converter2.nim") print(file) print(file.stat()) print() file = Path(".\\tests\\test_converter3.nim") print(file) print(file.stat()) print() file = Path(".\\tests\\test_converter4.nim") print(file) print(file.stat()) print() file = Path(".\\test_converter.nim") print(file) print(file.stat())yields:

It is close to 2^64 but not really.

Inspect the code in getFileInfo()?
