Windows & Android: react native server crashes very often

Question

 ERROR  EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat \'...\\.idea\\workspace.xml___jb_old___\'
{\"errno\":-4048,\"code\":\"EPERM\",\"syscall\":\"lstat\",\"path\":\"...\\.idea\\         


        

Answer 1

The best temporary fix I found for this was that when you do react-native run-android, look out for the React Package Manager and as soon as it opens, close it and wait until the progress of react-native run-android says BUILD SUCCEEDED and then open another cmd in the same Directory of your react-native project and do npm start. If the server crashes again or you get any error, you can just do npm start again and continue your work.
