Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '.gadget/backup/.gadget/client/node_modules'

Error ID

9b85e303-50cd-4f33-9dee-705bd2c7c776

What happened?

To start developing locally, running ggt command gives me the following error:

An unexpected error occurred.
Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '.gadget/backup/.gadget/client/node_modules'

And the terminal stops the operation.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect that my ggt runs normally so I can develop locally.

Steps to reproduce

run ggt dev

Anything else?

Sorry about this! We seem to have some bugs related to the .gadget/backup/ directory. This directory is used to store files that have been deleted from syncing the filesystem.

If you use don't need these backup files (i.e. you use git), you can delete the .gadget/backup/ directory and restart ggt dev.

Sorry for the delay!
