Hello everyone, I already posted this problem as a GitHub issue, but unfortunately i can not replicate it on other machines.

I’m trying to develop a UI component library with StencilJs. Unfortunately as soon as i start the development server with the command stencil build --dev --watch --serve --debug it returns this error:

> test-stencil@0.0.1 start C:\Users\work\Desktop\test-stencil

The strange thing is that it happens only on my computer, therefore I think it’s a problem with some permission or settings that are misconfigured on my machine, but I have no idea where to look.

I have already tried to reinstall and downgrade node and use admin privileges on the shell where I execute the command,but no luck so far.

The command stencil build or any variation where the flags --watch and --serve are not present at the same time also work just fine.

Any suggestion?
