Can't rename lesson folder while dev is running

[henrikvilhelmberglund]

Describe the bug

I think this could be a Windows specific issue but I can't rename folders while I've got a dev server running. It works fine if the server is stopped.

It's a bit annoying right now because my ideal workflow is create lesson -> copy paste folder -> rename folder which doesn't really work smoothly right now.

This could also be an Astro issue and not specific to TutorialKit.

Steps to reproduce

It may be needed to reproduce locally in VSCode if this is a Windows specific issue.

1. Start dev server.
2. Copy paste folder.
3. Rename folder.

Expected behavior

Expected: folder is renamed.
Actual: (in VSCode) nothing happens. After a while an

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'c:\Github\unocss-tutorial\src\content\tutorial\1-basics\2-rules\4-multple-rules-simple copy' -> 'c:\Github\unocss-tutorial\src\content\tutorial\1-basics\2-rules\5-multiple-properties-advanced'

error appears.

Does it work correctly if you don't open VS Code at all? Start TutorialKit from terminal and rename the directory on terminal or file explorer. Just wondering if there's some VS Code plugin that causes this.

Hey @henrikvilhelmberglund! Thanks for the report!

From a quick testing, this seems to not be the case on MacOS or Linux. This is probably a Windows specific issue. It could be either Astro or TutorialKit related though. One way to verify that would be to remove from your configuration the tutorialkit integration:

1. Edit your astro.config.ts to remove the tutorialkit() call
2. Run the dev server again
3. Try the copy

If this still fails, then it's Astro related. If not then it could maybe be caused by the watchers that we add to hot reload files with chokidar.

No, I still get an error as if the folder is locked:

1. Edit your astro.config.ts to remove the tutorialkit() call
2. Run the dev server again
3. Try the copy

I tried removing tutorialkit(), creating /src/pages with a few folders and renaming the routes, it worked fine.
