[ruby-core:76369] [Ruby trunk Bug#12585][Third Party's Issue] FileUtils.move leads to rb_file_s_rename Errno::EACCES: Permission denied on Windows

Issue #12585 has been updated by Nobuyoshi Nakada.

Status changed from Open to Third Party's Issue

Windows disallows removing open file unless it is opened with `FILE_SHARE_DELETE` flag.
Close `file` before `FileUtils.move`.

I've tried various invocations of `FileUtils.move`, passing file/directory objects or strings, and everything seems to end up the same. Am I using this incorrectly?

----

It appears I was using this incorrectly. `File.new` actually opens the file, which prevents it from being moved. If that's as intended, I guess this is not a bug.
