EBADF: bad file descriptor, close

[chrisdrackett]

I just went to run a script that successfully ran without errors and the second time I ended up getting the following error for all my DAT files:

WARN DATs/No-Intro Love Pack (Standard) (2025-08-24).zip|Redump BIOS/Sony - PlayStation 2 - BIOS Images (DoM Version) (116) (2025-02-15).dat: failed to parse DAT file: failed to read 'DATs/No-Intro Love Pack (Standard) (2025-08-24).zip|Redump BIOS/Sony - PlayStation 2 - BIOS Images (DoM Version) (116) (2025-02-15).dat': Error: EBADF: bad file descriptor, close

and then after getting this for all DATs:

ERROR No valid DAT files found!

I've checked the DATs in question and they all seem valid. I am running the script via npx so is it possible I got a new bad package?

Hey Chris, I'd love to hear if this is still a problem for you. v4.3.0 changed some things to keep more stack trace information, hopefully making debugging I/O issues like these easier.

@emmercm anything i can be helpful with? i'm getting a bunch of EBADF and ENOENT:

@fireworksordie I need a lot more information from you. For starters, I need to know what commands & options you're using, and ideally, I need a complete debug log using the -vvv option.

[fireworksordie]

.\igir move zip clean report `
  --dat "D:\Deduping games + roms\DATs\No-Intro Love Pack (PC) (2026-03-25).zip" `
  --input "D:\Deduping games + roms\igir" `
  --output "D:\DEDUPING ROMS\igir-sorted-all\{datName}" `
  --clean-backup "D:\DEDUPING ROMS\igir-backup" `
  --report-output "D:\DEDUPING ROMS\report\igir-report-step2.csv"

thanks for the quick reply- i'll work on restarting the process with -vvv and add more in the morning!

[fireworksordie]

hmm. i can't scroll up any further in the Windows command line so i'm not sure how to grab the full log. is there any decent way to output the -vvv to a file?

EDIT: looks like Start-Transcript in powershell should do the trick. going to run things again.
