Weird Windows Issue: Files with no owners created

[cniesen]

For some strange reason when "serve" is running and had a page request files are not released and can't be updated by a build process. This only happens in Microsoft Windows (version 10 tested) and does not happen in Linux (Ubuntu tested).

The issue can be recreated from the https://github.com/AmateurRadioSoftwareAward/AmateurRadioSoftwareAward.github.io project.

Steps to reproduce:

• Build project npm run build - build is successful as expected and I'm the owner of all files
• Start server npm run http - serve http server starts as expected and I'm the owner of all files
• Build project npm run build - build is successful as expected and I'm the owner of all files
• Open browser and load site localhost:3000 (any browser, any page) - site loads as expected and I'm still the owner of all files
• Build project npm run build - build fails with Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat and the file it fails on does not have an owner (dir /q shows three dots as the owner indicating that the file is not owned by anyone).
• Kill the "serve" process (ctrl-c) - all files are now gone
• Build project npm run build - build is successful as expected and I'm the owner of all files

This is quite annoying as rebuilding while running the server isn't possible. Any clue what's going on here?

this issue is fixed in my @warren-bank/serve fork of serve
