The log above is for the indexer, for which there's an existing resolved issue, not the scanner. Was able to reproduce this error for the scanner.

I expected to find a scandir system call as the one shown in the log but observed a watch system call. It could be because the log message above was for the indexer, not the scanner. Disabling the watcher to leave only the poller running didn't produce an EACCES error. Hardcoding an inaccessible this.options.configFile produced an EACCES error for a stat system call

$ yarn run scanner scan --watch --appmap-dir ~/tmp/permission_denied
