Steps to reproduce

1. Create a project in typescript with eslint
2. Seems that the problem occurs only when there are a lot of files to build
3. Use react-scripts 4.0.1 (The version 4.0.0 works)
4. On "yarn start", an error occurs (90% of time but not always)

Expected behavior

yarn start works :)

Actual behavior

Reproducible demo

It's the difficult part.
The issue happen only on Windows (Due to a windows file locking) and when the project contains a lot of files
So, create a minimal project is hard and I cannot give you the project of my company

You may want to file this in the eslint repo? We're not doing anything special on our end AFAIK other than enabling the webpack plugin.

Thanks for your answer

Seems environmental because it works on some machines but not on some others. Very complex to identify.

So let's close this ticket

same problem

[pinonpierre]

I reopened because it happen less often when I disable my Antivirus (Sophos) but it still have the issue sometimes

[pinonpierre]

No way to reproduce the issue with "eslint --cache ."

Happen only when launched from react-script.

Is react-script launch multiple times eslint?

Facing the same issue, and my colleagues the same. This happened after the upgrade to version 4.0.1
npm run start and npm run build both fail with the same error
