5 Effective Solutions to Fix Pipe Busy Error 231 (0xE7)

Step 1: Check Your Code Thoroughly

Begin by examining your codebase for possible errors. Pay particular attention to:

1. Access your codebase directly.
2. Ensure that the target host paths are correct.
3. Confirm that the client does not attempt multiple connections simultaneously. Use DisconnectNamedPipe to terminate existing connections when needed.
4. Establish a connection with ConnectNamedPipe() only after invoking CreateNamedPipe() or DisconnectNamedPipe(). This should always precede any I/O operations.

Pro Tip: Keep your connections organized and always clean up old instances to minimize conflicts.

Step 2: Implement a Loop for WaitNamedPipe and CreateFile

Make sure to encapsulate your WaitNamedPipe and CreateFile commands in a loop to ensure continuous attempts until a connection is made. Use the following code as a reference:

repeathPipe: = CreateFile(...);if hPipe = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE thenbeginif GetLastError() = ERROR_PIPE_BUSY thenbeginif not (attempted too many times) thenbeginif WaitNamedPipe(...) then Continue;end;end;end;Break;until False;

Save your changes to ensure the loop incorporates these commands effectively.

Step 3: Adjust NETLink Configuration

Modify your NETLink settings to align with the following commands:

Needs["NETLink`"]InstallNET[];LoadNETType["System. IO. Pipes. PipeDirection"];

Ensure that your PowerShell server is running, then apply the following code snippet:

NETBlock @ Internal`WithLocalSettings[ {pipe = NETNew["System. IO. Pipes. NamedPipeClientStream", ".", "testPipe", PipeDirection`In]}, pipe@Connect[] ; Internal`WithLocalSettings[ {stream = NETNew["System. IO. StreamReader", pipe]}, stream@ReadLine[], stream@Dispose[] ], pipe@Dispose[] ] (* "Server pid is 12345"*)

After making these adjustments, save your progress.

Step 4: Revise Telerik Configuration

Check your Telerik configuration settings to ensure there is only one instance of [SetUp], [TearDown], and [TestFixtureTearDown]. Make adjustments as needed before saving your changes.

Step 5: Useful Podman Tips

When working with Podman, adhere to these recommendations:

1. Always launch the Podman machine before connecting to a VPN.
2. To restart WSL, use the command: podman machine stopwsl –shutdown.
3. For persistent issues, consider deleting the.wslconfig file located in %USERPROFILE%/.wslconfig.

Pro Tip: Regularly review and update your configurations to avoid similar issues in the future.
