Maybe its better to handle this case by skipping reading files, not throw errors. @moonD4rk↳

Yes, it could be the issue. I will release a major update in the coming weeks and this particular ISSUSE will be resolved at the same time.

@sheepdog0x3e Thanks Bro. The temporary solution is to disable ChromiumCookie in DefaultChromium . I will fix this issue as soon as possible.

[sheepdog0x3e]

When the file C:\Users\Prisoner-Test\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies is locked by other process, the following code will throw this error: [ERROR] [main.go:60,func1] open C:\Users\Prisoner-Test\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

utils/fileutil/fileutil.go line98-108

func CopyFile(src, dst string) error {
	s, err := os.ReadFile(src)   // The programe can't read Cookies because the file is locked by other process
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	err = os.WriteFile(dst, s, 0o600)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	return nil
}

@sheepdog0x3e Yep, it seems that the reason is that the temporary Cookie files were not deleted. On which platform did this ISSUSE occur? Windows or macOS?

[sheepdog0x3e]

The core reason for this issue is the file C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies is locked by some process and the program doesn't have the priv to open this file.

I tried to copy this file mannually by using windows' copy /b "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies" ".\cookie"， but I got Process cannot access file because it is being used by another process.

So I comment //case item.ChromiumCookie to skip reading Chrome's cookies and delete the temp file cookie manually.

(I find out that I can comment this line out then the program will not try to parse cookie. And I don't have to delete the temp file either)

var DefaultChromium = []Item{
	ChromiumKey,
	ChromiumPassword,
	// ChromiumCookie,
	ChromiumBookmark,
	ChromiumHistory,
	ChromiumDownload,
	ChromiumCreditCard,
	ChromiumLocalStorage,
	ChromiumSessionStorage,
	ChromiumExtension,
}

Maybe you should check if you have the priv to open target files first, if not, then continue to parse next item .

BTW, I wonder why don't you throw errors in place so you can keep the actual line number for debugging? It took me quite a while to adrress this issue.

Finally I came up with a temp work around by commenting out these lines of code:

browingdata/browingdata.go

func (d *Data) addSources(items []item.Item) {
	for _, source := range items {
		switch source {
		case item.ChromiumPassword:
			d.sources[source] = &password.ChromiumPassword{}
		// case item.ChromiumCookie:
		// 	d.sources[source] = &cookie.ChromiumCookie{}
		case item.ChromiumBookmark:
			d.sources[source] = &bookmark.ChromiumBookmark{}
		......
		}
	}
}

PS: It will leave a file called cookie in the working directory. You must delete the file mannually when done.
