Environment:
-
Windows Version: 10.0.26200.7840
-
acli version: 1.3.13-stable
-
Rovo Dev version: v0.13.46
-
Installed via official Atlassian Windows binary
-
Running as standard user (not admin)
-
acli located at: C:\tools\acli.exe
Issue:
Rovo Dev consistently fails to start with:
Failed to start Rovo Dev CLI:
The file lock 'C:\Users\soel\.rovodev\config.yml.lock' could not be acquired.
Troubleshooting already performed:
-
Deleted entire
.rovodevdirectory -
Confirmed no
.lockfile exists -
Manually created
.lockfile (still fails) -
Killed all processes (acli, node, rovo)
-
Restarted system multiple times
-
Moved acli out of System32
-
Reinstalled latest binary from Atlassian site
-
Verified Defender & Controlled Folder Access disabled
-
Verified NTFS permissions (full control)
-
Tested from clean directory
-
Same error every time immediately after banner loads
Observation:
The error occurs even when:
-
No lock file exists
-
No process is holding the file
-
Permissions are correct
This suggests failure in the underlying exclusive file lock implementation on Windows build 26200.
Requesting confirmation whether Rovo Dev v0.13.46 is compatible with Windows 26200 builds and whether a patch is available.
