@elubdynasty what did your Tree View look like when this happened?

[jfgilliam]

I'm getting the same error on Electron 1.6.5. Is there a workaround? Happens on a new Windows 10 system.

fs.js:902
return binding.lstat(pathModule._makeLong(path));

Could this be related to nodejs/node#12737 ? This was solved in libuv 1.14.1 so if electron could updat their libuv version?

[50Wliu]

@deiga looks like it!

[50Wliu]

To keep track of when this bug should be fixed, libuv 1.14.1 is included in Node 9.3.0. So when Atom upgrades to an Electron version that uses Node 9.3.0+, it should be safe to close this issue.

[WyattMufson]

So does this mean that electron just doesn't work on Windows right now?

[VinncentGS]

Updating to 9.3.0+ does not fix the issue...

[WyattMufson]

The Electron 2 beta works

[judsoncs]

So updating to electron 2 beta fixes the issue? How does one do that?

[quarkcanadian]

so i think i fixed the issue. it appears that when you do npm install electron and npm install electron -g the lstat error becomes apparent. i removed electron using npm uninstall electron which i believe removes the electron module installed within the app while leaving the global one untouched. after i did this and ran npm start it worked
