tns run ios issue with 2.5.0 - unable to sync files on iOS Simulator

[vchimev]

Output:

Unable to sync files. Error is: cp: copyFileSync: could not write to dest file (code=ENOENT):/Users/toddanglin/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/50DFBA8C-A077-4EB4-B49F-93D2FAE13810/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/6878EDAF-504B-4366-9CE4-B5A97870EA3C/ns-demo.app/Resources/en.lproj/Localizable.strings

Seems to fail with the same error on different files in “/Resources/en.lproj”. Here it’s “Localizable.strings.” Sometimes it’s “InfoPlist.strings”.

How to reproduce:
Add folder or file to <project_name>/app folder once an application is created with any template.

I got the same problem over here. I'm using the plugin nativescript-i18n and when I make a first change after run tns run ios it refresh the app but with next changes it throws that error and does not reload the app anymore. I'm using tns 2.5.0

+1 I've go the same situation as @JuanDelgadillo. Building on Mac for iOS, targeting the simulator.

tns run ios --emualtor will work the first time and do one LiveSync. After that, it errors-out with the copyFileSync errors. Current workaround is to simply kill the running command and restart tns run.

I'm experiencing the problem while using nativescript-dev-sass. I'm able to run the app using "tns run android", but as soon as I touch a single .scss file NativeScript tries to sync and everything blow ups. Here is the relevant issue in nativescript-dev-sass bugtracker: NativeScript/nativescript-dev-sass#18

I still get this in tns --version 2.5.4. The first time is fine, but on 2nd run, my assets directory fails every time since I added images to it.

[1] Transferring project files...
[1] Unable to sync files. Error is: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '... /assets '

Hey, @vance @lukeramsden,
We've released 2.5.5 and 3.0.1 with another fix that references this problem. Would you like to give it a try and write back with the results. Meanwhile I'll reopen the issue.
