You may need to install it. Error from chokidar (C:\): Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\hiberfil.sys' Error from chokidar (C:\): Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, lstat 'C:\swapfile.sys code example

Example: error from chokidar (c:\): error: ebusy: resource busy or locked, lstat

I get this whenever I'm using VSCode and I add something similar to a component:

@Output() somename = new EventEmitter();
...and I let VSCode auto-import the supporting module. Instead of adding EventEmitter to the existing @angular/core, VSCode adds a new import to protractor which causes the error.

If you are getting this error and can't remember where the last changes were made, try searching for from 'protractor' in your code;
