Funnily enough I too am having that issue

This error seems to occur if you have a folder in your project directory that the shadcn CLI does not have enough permissions to access. In my project folder, I had a Docker persistence volume that the shadcn CLI could not access. I suggest adding an option for the Shadcn CLI to ignore specific directories, allowing users to list directories that the CLI should not scan.

In the meantime, you can modify the permissions of the directory with permission issues to allow read and write access for all users:

  sudo chmod -R 755 /path/to/folder/with/restricted/permissions

The shadcn CLI init/scan must have nothing to do with folders other than ${PROJECT_PATH}/components/ui. If needed, the init/scan function only needs to init/scan the -p PATH used.
