EPERM: operation not permitted

[tomaschyly]

Since updating to v3 I get this error:

EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\Tomas\AppData\Roaming\MiArt\var\config\default.json.727851267' -> 'C:\Users\Tomas\AppData\Roaming\MiArt\var\config\default.json'

I use write-file-atomic to save app config inside Electron v5 app. This error only happens on Windows, on MacOS everything works fine. Also if I downgrade back to 2.4.3, it works on Windows again.

Anything I can do to help solve this issue? Or is it something on my end?

it is the same error on a SNAP app Electron as well:
sindresorhus/configstore#63

patrikx3/onenote#68

SNAP does not allow to change the owner, could you tell is how to disable the chown ?

To disable, just pass {chown: false, mode: false}. I am going to send PR to conf module.

writeFileAtomic.sync(this.path, data, {chown: false, mode: false})

I have checked my case again. And I noticed, that first time I can edit the file, but any subsequent edits show that error. It seems like they do not release control of the file after they are done editing.
Not sure and do not have the time to check it myself, I have too much other work to deal with.
Does the team not check issues here on github?

I have recently tried to use the package again, now latest v3.0.1.
It is possible that they fixed it there, or other updates have dealt with this issue, but for me it seems to be working on multiple devices now. I have since then updated everything, including Electron to v7.

Since there is still no response, I will close this now. To others with this issue, try to test it again, maybe it will work now for you too.
