Blender halts when permission denied

Reported by Chris Griego | July 30th, 2008 @ 07:11 PM | in 1.0

When blender encounters a file it cannot write to, it throws an exception and exits. Expected behavior is to output a message and continue blending other files.

Some version control systems will leave files in your working copy as read-only unless you have them checked out. If you're blending files and haven't checked out a specific output file because you have no updates for it, but may be forcing a blend due to file timestamp oddness, then a permission denied is a non-event. Having to use sudo as a workaround is undesirable.

$blend --force
BU60/_behavior/property-min.js
BU40/_behavior/search-min.js
BU40/_behavior/property-min.js
BU40/_behavior/_global-min.js
BU60/_behavior/_global-debug-min.js
BU60/_behavior/search-min.js
Permission denied - BU60/_behavior/contextual-min.js

Blender is like ant or make for the front-end. It aggregates and compresses CSS and/or JavaScript assets for a site into efficient, production-ready files.
