Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat (gatsby-starter-default + gatsby-source-wordpress)

[mavalon]

Description

I installed the default starter and the wordpress plugin. Running develop compiles successfully. But, a few seconds later an error is thrown.

Steps to reproduce

• Install gatsby-starter-default
• Install gatsby-source-wordpress
• Run gatsby develop
• Open the site in a browser (I'm using Chrome)

Expected result

• The page should load properly

Actual result

• The browser error: "This site can’t be reached. localhost refused to connect."
• The server has now stopped, and the error in the terminal is:

5 pages                                                                                                                                                                                gatsby-starter-default

Environment

System:
    OS: Windows 10
    CPU: (8) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
  Binaries:
    Yarn: 1.3.2 - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yarn\bin\yarn.CMD
    npm: 6.10.2 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD

  Browsers:
    Edge: 38.14393.1066.0
  npmPackages:
    gatsby: ^2.13.45 => 2.13.45
    gatsby-image: ^2.2.7 => 2.2.7
    gatsby-plugin-manifest: ^2.2.4 => 2.2.4
    gatsby-plugin-offline: ^2.2.4 => 2.2.4

    gatsby-source-wordpress: ^3.1.13 => 3.1.13
    gatsby-transformer-sharp: ^2.2.5 => 2.2.5

Additional info

Also, I notice that immediately after it says that it compiled successfully, I can see image files in the .cache/gatsby-source-filesystem directory. But, a few moments later, when the error above occurs and the server is stopped, all the files disappear. (Perhaps it's normal to remove the files when the server stops, but I thought I'd mention that here, just in case it's not.)

Also, if I comment out the media path in gatsby-config for the wordpress plugin configuration section, then I get no errors:

              includedRoutes: [
                  "**/categories",
                  "**/posts",
                  "**/pages",
                  // "**/media",
                  "**/menus",
                  "**/tags",
                  "**/taxonomies",
                  "**/users",
              ],

Hi @mavalon!

Sorry to hear you're running into an issue. To help us best begin debugging the underlying cause, it is incredibly helpful if you're able to create a minimal reproduction. This is a simplified example of the issue that makes it clear and obvious what the issue is and how we can begin to debug it. I can't seem to reproduce this on my own.

If you're up for it, we'd very much appreciate if you could provide a minimal reproduction and we'll be able to take another look.

Thanks for using Gatsby! 💜

I ended up switching to gatsby-source-graphql (instead of using gatsby-source-wordpress) to avoid the many issues I was having.

Happened to me while my VScode was Open so i closed it and used to run gatsby develop on cmd and it worked .

I had same issue this worked for me just type gatsby clean and then restart again by typing gatsby develop

Really annoying to have to gatsby clean when this issue happens constantly.

[ReubenJCarter]

I can't even run gatsby clean anymore, as the same error is happening there too!

[CalebBarnes]

This still happens very often. I am on Windows 11 using the new Powershell. Seems like it has something to do with Windows permissions.

Have you found a solution to this? I'm also using Windows 11. I've tried closing VS code and running gatsby develop but to no avail.

Running into this as well, possibly linked to hot reload working inconsistently (needs a restart).

this issue still exists, win11

this solved it for me https://nextjs.org/ 🤣
