ember-cli-broccoli fails with EEXIST ... tmp/.DS_STORE

Question

I've been running into this issue all day whenever I would save a file (*.hbs, *.js) locally while running ember serve and couldn't figure out what the deal was:

The Broccoli Plugin: [broccoli-persistent-filter:Babel > [Babel: ember-inflector]: Babel: ember-inflector] failed with:

Error: EEXIST: file already exists, symlink 
'/Users/myusername/Documents/my-project/tmp/broccoli_persistent_filterbabel__babel_ember_inflector-input_base_path-tS9AnlNw.tmp/.DS_Store'
-> 
'/Users/myusername/Documents/my-project/tmp/broccoli_persistent_filterbabel__babel_ember_inflector-output_path-6LGruFFD.tmp/.DS_Store'

I tried rm -rf tmp I tried cleaning everything, restarting my Text Editor (Atom) I searched all over the internet...

Answer 1

After searching all day for a solution I closed my finder window and the problem stopped..

So apparently just close Finder on OSX and it will fix the problem. Hopefully this saves some other poor soul from wasting as much time as I did
