ENOENT 'C:\C:\...' when starting local instance on windows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this!

I'm trying to run convex locally after having it running in the cloud.

running

pnpm convex dev --configure --dev-deployment local

pnpm convex dev --configure --dev-deployment local

and now after that, running

pnpm convex dev

pnpm convex dev

gives the following error:

✖ Error: Unable to start push to http://127.0.0.1:3210

I've tried setting CONVEX_TMPDIR but that doesn't seem to do anything helpful.
(i did confirm that it is reading that value, because i was able to get a different error by setting up a bad value for it)
(its set to this currently:

C:\Users\My User\.convex

C:\Users\My User\.convex

)

convex: 1.28.2
