On cypress run, error "We failed to trash the existing run results"

Current behavior:

Running cypress run emits an error:

Warning: We failed to trash the existing run results.

This error will not alter the exit code.

Error: Command failed: /Users/jennifer/Library/Caches/Cypress/3.1.2/Cypress.app/Contents/Resources/app/packages/server/node_modules/trash/lib/macos-trash /Users/jennifer/Dev/cypress-example-kitchensink/cypress/screenshots/examples
“examples” couldn’t be moved to the trash.

Desired behavior:

Not error when trashing folders within videos folder.

Steps to reproduce:

All I did was cypress run on a previous run cypress-example-kitchensink project. Of course on subsequent runs of of cypress run do not produce the same error. 😞

Versions

Cypress 3.1.2 Mac High Sierra

It seems the problem only happens when a snapshot is open by an application somewhere else while cypress is trying to clean the directory, so it can’t. At least that’s seems how I fixed it, by closing the app that still viewing the snapshot images.

Hope it helps

Still exists in 10.9.0
