I have a directory that has files. These files are created with one process everytime a trigger happens. Another NodeJS process tries to list down new files added and parse its content and push it to a remote DB.
The problem that NodeJS app tries to access one of the files while it is still locked by the other process and it causes my node app to throw an exception
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory
Now I am trying to add a check to check if a file is locked by another process or not. If not then I will go ahead and process its content.
I tried to use lockfile and proper-lockfile npm modules but still, I am getting the same error.
Would you please let me know if there is any other way to check if the file is locked by another process in NodeJS?
