quasar build error (Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, rmdir)

[vicman1200]

Good morning,

today I tried to compile my Quasar project, which works very well when I use 'quasar dev.' However, suddenly, overnight, I started getting the error "EBUSY: resource busy or locked, rmdir '\?\C:\Users\atack\source\repos\mywebapp

This is happening both for quasar clean and quasar build.

And the folder is not in use by another process, nor is it set to read-only.

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much.

I encountered a similar issue, though with my Electron build's app.asar file.

Using File Locksmith, I found that the file was indeed still locked by VSCode. The issue was VSCode's debugger, which was attaching a debugger to the quasar cli tool, locking the file, and keeping it locked even after the run of quasar build completed.

In my settings, I had:
"debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter": "always"

I fixed the issue by changing the filter to the less aggressive:
"debug.javascript.autoAttachFilter": "smart"

The error message I got was:

  binding.unlink(path);
          ^
