Try to build react native clear project and getting watchman error:

jest-haste-map: Watchman crawl failed. Retrying once with node crawler. Usually this happens when watchman isn't running. Create an empty .watchmanconfig file in your project's root folder or initialize a git or hg repository in your project. Error: Watchman error: std::__1::system_error: open: /Users/sliokkory/Documents/myteam/star: Operation not permitted. Make sure watchman is running for this project. See https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/troubleshooting.

Watchman -v: 2021.11.15.00
MacOs: 12.0.1 Monterey (m1)

Hi. You should move the entire project directory outside of the Documents directory

This worked for me too :) I tried adding access to watman executable via System Preferences but couldnt manage to do it.
but this worked perfectly.

For me it worked with moving the project directory to Users/myuser/

[BruceSuperProgramer]

Yep have to be right under Users/myuser/ directory. If you placed them under other folders it still not working for example Users/myuser/Download/

Просто перенес в корень, и то-же сработало

Is there a permanent fix for this? Moving my project to another folder is not a fix.

[Desintegrator]

No, it's permanent. System forbid access to Documents folder. It's security issue otherwise. Maybe there is a possibility to give a permissions, but I wouldn't do that

Is this something that has been changed recently or just specific for M1 chips because i have always been working on react native apps and using it inside my documents folder but just today, It appeared that i got that error too?

[TwanLuttik]

So i have factory reseted my macbook and i still have the same issue where i have to put it into users/${name}/ folder.

After a bit more research i found this issue where it has a temp fix #1030 (comment)

It didn't work until I allowed sh to access the disk.

This is dumb; but it worked

[hamzafer]

Not sure why, but using iTerm instead of Terminal solved the issue for me.

[MzkZeeshan]

We can resolved this when we put our project outside from those folder Desktop,Download and Document then run

npm start

It will be work thanks
