Panic `assertion failed: virtually_exists(&file).map_err(|e| fs_error(&file, e))?`

[qarmin]

When testing cosmic-files I got only once this crash

thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at /home/rafal/.cargo/git/checkouts/trash-rs-73fb3f8cbeeee6a0/483f839/src/freedesktop.rs:266:5:
assertion failed: virtually_exists(&file).map_err(|e| fs_error(&file, e))?
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

not sure how to reproduce

pop-os/cosmic-files#508

Thanks for reporting!

I think the issue here might be a race condition, and some other program meddled with the file so it indeed didn't exist anymore even though it did before.

A way to fix this should be to remove the assertion, and depending on the context fail with an error, or ignore the now missing file if that's feasible.
