EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat

[darsain]

• I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• Found similar error reported in Add Windows support and first-class Linux support #946, but I believe that this is not a duplicate
• OS version and name: Win 10
• Hyper.app version: 1.2.1-1.3.1
• .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9a1a7aa2b8ee2708d5cf9f3803cb7794
• Relevant information from devtools: nothing reported in console
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes

Issue

Errors like these happen sporadically when I use the OS and various apps, and they change some files located under %HOME%/* while Hyper is running in the background:

It seems like Hyper is watching user's home folder to spy on .hyper.js changes, and whenever something happens there it does lstat on the changed file. This operation might not be permitted on some files, which results in EPERM error window popping up and annoying me considerably 😢.

I think that watching of anything under user's home folder should be isolated to only the paths relevant to Hyper and completely ignoring any event not relevant to it, since watching everything there might (apart of throwing these errors) cause performance issues in the future.

I've updated the opening post to maybe clarify the cause of the issue.

BTW, I had to close ~20 of these windows in the last 30 minutes :(

I'm experiencing the same issue on Windows 10.

Facing this issue on Win10 too, seems to happen randomly.

Hey there, please try again with the new Hyper v2 release and open a new issue if the problem stills exists. Thank you!
