incorrect error message when reverting unreadable file


From: Chris Moore
Subject: incorrect error message when reverting unreadable file
Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2006 15:42:00 +0100

I just did the following:

1. use find-file to visit a file:

   C-x C-f /tmp/file RET

2. in a shell, modify the file and make it unreadable:

   $ date >> /tmp/file
   $ chmod 0 /tmp/file

3. back in Emacs, find the file again:

   C-x C-f /tmp/file RET

Emacs tells me "File file changed on disk.  Reread from disk?
(yes or no)" as I would expect.  I answer "yes" and I'm told:

  "Opening input file, no such file or directory, /tmp/file"

But the file does exist.

If I kill the "file" buffer and try again, then the correct message is
printed:

  "File is not readable: /tmp/file"




Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening input file" "no such file or 
directory" "/tmp/file")
  insert-file-contents("/tmp/file" t nil nil t)
  revert-buffer(t t)
  find-file-noselect("/tmp/file" nil nil t)
  find-file("/tmp/file" t)
  call-interactively(find-file)
