- Issue
I'm facing an issue where npm run watch (Laravel Vite) crashes every time I modify and save an SCSS file. The error message shows that a file is locked (EBUSY error), forcing me to manually restart the watcher every time to apply changes.
This is error I get every time watcher reboots, and I must also say that locked files change. It's not always cleave-phone.lt.js. :
EBUSY: resource busy or locked, unlink 'C:\...\cleave-phone.lt.js'
I’ve attempted several fixes, but none have worked permanently:
- Disabled Windows Defender (Real-time protection & folder exclusions added).
- Deleted public/build/ and rebuilt it.
- Cleared Temp folder (C:\Users...\AppData\Local\Temp).
- Restarted terminal and system.
- Ran npm run watch with Administrator privileges.
- Also saw that disabling Java(TM) Platform SE Binary solved problem for some, but I dont even have that process running in task manager.
How can I fix this permanently so Vite doesn’t crash, and I don’t have to restart npm run watch manually after every change?
Any workarounds or configurations that could help?
Thanks in advance!
