Bug in Gatsby?

[shijingl]

Thanks so much for sharing v4 publicly. It looks amazing.

But when I tried to run "yarn start" on my own computer, I encountered an error:

A little bit of research on google shows to me that this might be a bug on Gatsby:
gatsbyjs/gatsby#11688

Does anybody encounter the same issue? May I ask how's resolved?

Thanks a lot!

I've been running into the same issue. Upon reaching the "graphql" section of the tutorial, my code throws this error too.

What OS are you running?

I'm currently using Windows 10, so I'm wondering if that could be a part of the problem(?)

Running into similar issues running on Windows 10 as well.

@xianrusso
I think you are right. I have tried it on Ubuntu (18.04) and Windows 10.
It runs well on Ubuntu but it doesn't run on Windows 10.

Something wrong with Windows 10.

@shijingl
I ran my code from a directory located on my desktop in Windows 10 and it fails; however, when I move the code to a location in the Documents directory it runs perfectly well. It must have something to do with the way the Desktop path is resolved.

If you are running your directory from your Desktop I would change locations on your filesystem and see if that works.

Rather annoying bug and the error doesn't necessarily help at all.

Same here! Windows 10 too. You are actually right. It works from inside the Document Folders, but why? I made all my folders and files to lowercase without special characters and still did not work.

[jaredjasonpeters]

My best guess is

In modern Windows versions, including Windows 10, the Desktop folder contents are stored in two locations. One is the "Common Desktop", located in the folder C:\Users\Public\Desktop. The other one is a special folder in the current user profile, %userprofile%\Desktop.

If someone actually knows why this happens I would love to know.

Hi all, unfortunately I don't have a windows machine to test this on, but it seems like a Gatsby issue and not an issue with anything in this repository. I'm going to close this unless someone has anything helpful to add!
