Website users loaded corrupted JavaScript assets for files generated by EXT:vhs when EXT:vhs was in the middle of re-writing the contents of the requested asset file. This happens because EXT:core
GeneralUtility::writeFile()
isn't implemented in an atomic style causing observers (such as visiting website users) to read incomplete asset file contents. Incomplete JavaScript files likely cause syntax errors when interpreted by the user's user-agent rendering front end sites unable to reach JavaScript-based interactivity.Fix the issue by (non-atomically) writing into a temporary file and replacing the destination asset file with a single atomic
rename()
operation instead. This ensures that observers of the destination asset file either see the complete old contents or the complete new contents but never any intermediate state of the asset content.See: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/rename.2.html
