react-native Expo CLI gives EPERM Error : Operation not permitted for \table.xsl.tmp

Question

This happens at the start. it looks like *.tmp (Temp files) are not accessible. How can I fix this?

events.js:174
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'C:\<APP-PATH>\table.xsl.tmp'
Emitted 'error' event at:
    at NodeWatcher.<anonymous> (C:\<APP-PATH>\node_modules\sane\src\node_watcher.js:291:16)
    at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:153:21)

Answer 1

Just make a table.xsl.tmp file in your project directory and rerun expo start .

This way it worked for me & katontech .

However this is not the perfect solution, but this bug is tracked and discussed here .
