Didn't see this Android build issue ...

Can anyone help with Renpy Android build fail? Here's the error, I didn't see any info about it in the other threads.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/android.rpy", line 483, in <module>
  File "game/android.rpy", line 269, in android_build
WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: u'E:\\renpy-7.3.5-sdk\\rapt\\project\\local.properties'

Is this a repeatable error? Or did it happen just one time? I'm wondering if your antivirus software or backup software might have been accessing that particular file at just that particular time.

One way to get out of "being used by another process" is to reboot.

I checked my antivirus and restarted, but I get that issue every time I try and make a build in Android ... I can make other builds, and I've updated to the latest version.

OK, it was kind of a shot in the dark. Antivirus products are usually pretty good at not causing "this file is in use", so that was a really "out there" idea. And if it's happening every time, it sounds like it might be a bug. Possibly when Ren'py is setting up that file, it isn't closing it before the next step starts to read it.

I'd report this over on the Ren'py issues at GitHub.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help!
