EPERM when running scandir

• I confirm that this is an issue rather than a question.

Bug report

Steps to reproduce

I don't know whether this is a macOS-specific issue.

$ npm i -g vuepress (or yarn global add vuepress)
$ vuepress

What is expected?

The expected thing was that Vuepress was supposed to build up a fully working Vue-powered website and be able to serve Markdown files.

What is actually happening?

Hi @ryanccn

I can indeed reproduce this error when I try to run vuepress in my HOMEPATH on Windows 10, create a new folder and run the command inside it seems to solve the error:

cd ~
mkdir test
cd test
vuepress

However, I'm confused about what you are trying to do. Please check out the getting-started for more detail and find all available CLI commands in the document

@ludanxer The getting-started talks about playing around with Vuepress globally, and this

# install globally
yarn global add vuepress # OR npm install -g vuepress

# create a markdown file
echo '# Hello VuePress' > README.md

# start writing
vuepress dev

# build
vuepress build

did not work.

I tried this in a separate folder and it worked, but the Getting Started talks nothing of this error. Maybe can edit the Getting Started to create a new folder or change the scandir in the Vuepress code?

vuepress was just something used to invoke the error. I wasn't trying to do anything. 😄

You can try to open a PR that adds something like mkdir my-doc-site && cd my-doc-site, I'm not sure if it will get merged.

I recall that I see a blog mentions a quick start yarn create vuepress, it also requires you to run the command inside an empty directory. However, the project create-vuepress is not maintained for a while.

You can wait for core contributors come across this issue, I'm not sure what they want. Creating a new CLI command vuepress create <folder-name> may also be a choice.

Okay. Thanks! This is pull request #2051.
