Error: EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted

[appellation]

Hello! I'm attempting to use the recommended template generation steps outlined in the readme, but I'm encountering the EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted error when I try to generate the template on a drive that isn't my main drive. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of these package managers or an issue that can be resolved in this project.

❯ yarn create cloudflare test worker-rust
yarn create v1.22.10

Can be worked around by overriding the temp dir to a location on the same device. For example:

mkdir ~/tmp
TMPDIR=~/tmp yarn create cloudflare my-project worker-rust

Thank you @appellation for the issue and @benhansen-io for your follow up. For future individuals finding this ticket: The suggested method of creating a project from a template is now using wrangler generate for additional information: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/commands/#generate

The templates have also been moved into the workers-sdk monorepo, here: https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-sdk/tree/main/templates
