Getting error in rename of files from .~BJCgJqW_l.json to BJCgJqW_l.json

I am using lowdb version 0.10.3 and I am using node version 7.2.1

Everything was working well and suddenly I am getting this error.

node_modules\lowdb\src\disk.js:15
if (err) throw err
^
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Codes\momtest0.5-cdn\portal\compresults.~BJCgJqW_l.json' -> 'C:\Codes\momtest0.5-cdn\portal\compresults\BJCgJqW_l.json'

Hi @balasivagnanam,

I don't really know. That's strange because the only thing it does is renaming the file.
Did you check the permissions?

You can try to update lowdb but it may not solve the error.

That's strange because the only thing it does is renaming the file.

On Windows EPERM error usually occurs when the file is locked, see details here isaacs/node-graceful-fs#119. The workaround is applying retry scenario for renaming action.

Would using graceful-fs in lowdb fix this error?
