Windows & Android: react native server crashes very often

 ERROR  EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat '...\.idea\workspace.xml___jb_old___'
{"errno":-4048,"code":"EPERM","syscall":"lstat","path":"...\.idea\\workspace.xml___jb_old___"}
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'app\.idea\workspace.xml___jb_old___'
    at Error (native)

After that I should again do:

npm start

How to resolve this quite annoying problem? Thanks

@ericnakagawa I think this issue should be reopened

For the record:

• I tried Watchman on Windows without success (It bundles nothing(!) and app won’t run. As stated in this ticket https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/7022).
• Then tried to disable inspection of my git files (lstat error was almost always on my .git/index.lock) by defining getBlacklistRE in my rn-cli.config.js but it didn’t help either.

The only temporarily workaround I found was to change behavior of react cli on exceptions. Open node_modules/react-native/local-cli/server/server.js find process.on('uncaughtException', line and comment process.exit(1); at the end to completely disable quit on exception.
