Bug description:
Background
Writing a tool to update and rename some files, I made a mistake and tried to rename a file while it was still open. This works on Linux, but raises an error when writing to a Windows network shares. This is known and documented - see Path.rename docs.
The issue
The problem I have is that the error message is incorrect. It says "FileNotFound", which is confusing because the files do exist. If I had got a more useful message, I would have worked out what the problem was with my tool much sooner.
Repro case
file1 = Path("test1.txt")
file2 = Path("test2.txt")
file1.open("w").write("file 1 text\n")
file2.open("w").write("file 2 text\n")
with file1.open():
file2.rename(file1)
Outcomes;
On linux, writing to pwd or a linux network share, file is rewritten without error.
On linux, writing to a Windows network share, an incorrect error message is given.
$ python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jontwo/test.py", line 17, in <module>
main()
File "/home/jontwo/test.py", line 13, in main
file2.rename(file1)
File "/usr/lib/python3.12/pathlib.py", line 1363, in rename
os.rename(self, target)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'test2.txt' -> 'test1.txt'
On Windows, writing to pwd, a useful error message is given.
c:\temp>python test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\temp\test.py", line 16, in <module>

File "c:\temp\test.py", line 12, in main

研究方向
首先,在 Linux 以及 Windows 網路共用條件下重現 issue 中所示的 pathlib.Path.rename 案例。檢查所回報的 rename 進入點附近的 pathlib.py,並將產生的錯誤與文件記載的 Path.rename 行為進行比較。當目標處於開啟狀態的案例不再顯示具有誤導性的 FileNotFound 訊息,且平台特定行為已由適當的測試涵蓋時,即視為完成。
