cli: cf login with certain options results in rename Access is denied error message
Please fill out the issue checklist below and provide ALL the requested information.
- I reviewed open and closed github issues that may be related to my problem.
- I tried updating to the latest version of the CF CLI to see if it fixed my problem.
- I attempted to run the command with
CF_TRACE=1to help debug the issue. - I am reporting a bug that others will be able to reproduce.
- [ ] If this is an issue for the v7 beta release, I’ve read through the official docs and the release notes.
Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with
Trying to run cf login -a <api url> -o <org> -s Dev --sso but it does not work and instead returns Error writing config: rename C:\Users\<username>\.cf\temp-config696932450 C:\Users\<username>\.cf\config.json: Access is denied.
What happened
C:\Users\<username>\.cf\temp-config696932450 and C:\Users\<username>\.cf\config.json are left on file system. Inspecting config.json it looks incomplete. Manually moving temp-config696932450 to config.json appears to result in it working until next login.
Expected behavior This command logs in without errors
To Reproduce
- Run
cf login -a <api url> -o <org> -s Dev --sso - Enter Temporary Authentication Code
- See error
Provide more context
- Windows 10
cf loginworked in this way through 6.46.1. Starting with 6.47.1 this no longer works.- note 6.47 refactored how
cf loginworks which probably broke this - see https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases/tag/v6.47.0 - Git bash, PowerShell, CMD… all same error
- still broken in 6.51.0
- API version: 3.66.0
- I have confirmed with multiple users they have same issue
- I have tried to catch what might be locking
config.jsonusing Process Explorer, Resource Monitor, etc. but none seem to catch anything lockingconfig.json

@nickjameswebb as best as I can tell this fixes the issue. I haven’t been able to reproduce
Error writing config: rename C:\Users\<username>\.cf\temp-config696932450 C:\Users\<username>\.cf\config.json: Access is denied.message with dev build when at same time I was sometimes able to with installed version6.52.0+b086fe522.2020-08-26.@nickjameswebb yep. A dev build would be best for me.
