firebase-tools: Error when running emulator: "EPERM: operation not permitted, rename..."

Sometimes, when I run firebase functions:shell or firebase serve --only functions to start the local emulator, this is the error I get (without --debug):

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\Metsuryu\.config\configs
tore\firebase-tools.json.538670987' -> 'C:\Users\Metsuryu\.config\configstore\fi

                                ^

Sometimes it doesn’t happen, I wasn’t able to figure out why it only happens sometimes. Disabling the antivirus doesn’t seem to work consistently.

[REQUIRED] Environment info

firebase-tools: 6.3.0

I’m using 6.3.0 both globally, and in the functions’ package.json. The problem started happening only after I started using it in the cloud functions.

Platform: Windows

[REQUIRED] Steps to reproduce

After installing firebase-tools, and importing it in the cloud functions, like this:

import * as firebase_tools from "firebase-tools";

executing a command to start the local emulator (firebase functions:shell or firebase serve --only functions) will sometimes not work, showing the above error.

Removing import * as firebase_tools from "firebase-tools"; solves the problem, so I am fairly sure firebase-tools is causing it.

[REQUIRED] Expected behavior

The local emulator should start properly every time.

[REQUIRED] Actual behavior

The local emulator starts only sometimes, and other times it throws an error. Here is the output with --debug:

And I can’t use the functions when it errors like this, so I have to retry until it works.

Had the same problem. What worked for me was to close Visual Studio Code, and then run npm i firebase in a normal (non admin) powershell window. Then it installed without problems. Seems that both Visual Studio Code and Atom locks some files.

Same challenge here (this is the second time it’s happened). Tried all those solutions the first time, and nothing worked save creating a ‘clean’ firebase project and then moving all the sources across, reinstalling all the extra packages, etc. Eventually got it back to where I was. Now it’s happened again, and I’m going straight to that. firebase functions:shell has also started taking 3–4 minutes to (fail to) start.
