cross-device link not permitted

More of a big deal, convex@0.3.x doesn't seem to work with an encrypted home directory (at least I'm guessing that's what's causing this error for me - see thread) 😢

Preparing Convex functions...
This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason:

ah yep, the cross file system rename is what’s causing this. we first stage changes to the local filesystem in a temporary directory and then swap them in, so file system watchers like next dev don’t observe partial versions of files. however, renames are only allowed within a filesystem, so ideally we should use a temporary directory within the same filesystem as your repo. we’ll fix this in our next release!

Dan MercerOP•3y ago

Awesome, thanks! I'll wait until the next release to upgrade then 👍

RJ•3y ago

(I'm seeing this in deploys on Netlify as well, via npx convex codegen)

sujayakar•3y ago

ah interesting @RJ ! can you paste the error you’re seeing?

I'm also seeing this on Convex 0.5, any updates?

sujayakar•3y ago

hi @Gonza ! ah interesting, thanks for the report. can you paste the error backtrace you're seeing in the terminal (like the lines starting with Error: EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted)?

Gonza•3y ago

Sorry, seems like I had a cache issue on Netlify, I re-ran it with the 'clean cache' option (or sth like that) and it's working now, thanks!

sujayakar•3y ago

no worries! glad it worked out.
