From ce28e3507c82ed3630629987fd073f4aa3c88674 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ken Smith Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 14:53:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix Windows CI test failures caused by Windows Defender file locking Windows Defender real-time scanning on GitHub Actions runners grabs newly created/modified files for inspection, causing intermittent IOExceptions ("file being used by another process"), ZipExceptions ("EOF in header"), and FileNotFoundExceptions when tests try to delete or reopen temp files during the scan window. Exclude TEMP and workspace directories from Defender scanning in both PR and CI workflows. This is standard practice for .NET OSS projects running on Windows CI.

Disable real-time monitoring instead, which is the approach used by dotnet/runtime and other .NET OSS projects.

When dotnet test runs all test projects in parallel, this nukes temp files that SXSSF tests and other tests are actively using, causing random FileNotFoundException, IOException, ZipException, and UnauthorizedAccessException failures. Fix: Remove the destructive directory deletion from TestTempFile. The directory recreation logic is now tested using an isolated subdirectory that won't interfere with other parallel tests. Also reverts the Defender exclusion changes from prior commits, as Windows Defender was not the root cause.
