Exporting site stuck in "In Progress" when Visual Studio is open

See original GitHub issue

Description of bug

I was trying to export a site and it stayed suspended on “In Progress” indefinitely without throwing any error. The folder in ~/App_Data/ExportImport/[EXPORT_DATE] populated with following files:

export.dnndb
export_files.zip
export_packages.zip
export_templates.zip
export_themes.zip

It was missing export_db.zip and export.json. I investigated the log files and found an error saying another program was using a file it needed. Since the referenced file was in the .vs/ folder, I figured Visual Studio was using the file. When I closed VS, the export completed properly.

Steps to reproduce

List the steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open part of a site you want to export in Visual Studio.
Try to export the site.

Current result

The export begins and then gets stuck on “In Progress”. If you check the folder, the files I mentioned will be there and the error will be in log.

Expected result

DNN should show a toast or something to let me know that another program is using a file it needs or at least that it can’t complete the export.

Screenshots

None.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to exclude the git, node and the vs folders from the export process.

I think this is a different issue. I suggest you check what else has that file open, maybe temporarely disabling your antivirus, maybe something else. I suggest you look at the file parameters, maybe it is readonly, or the folder permissions… Or at some tools like https://www.iobit.com/en/iobit-unlocker.php that maybe can give you some more details.
