Jest causing: npm install fails on Windows with "EPERM, operation not permitted" error during rename

[oodboo]

VS Code v1.27.1 Extension Jest

1. Operating system: Windows 10

tried installing axios with: npm install --save axios

resulting error npm install fails on Windows with "EPERM, operation not permitted" error during rename

I disabled Jest extension, and everything worked well.

You can also just stop the Jest test runner. Still, it's a pain.

Extension is holding on to too many files and is causing other EPERM problems as well i.e. nodemon + next.js doesn't work with this extension installed.

I'm seeing problems with Rollup on Windows where the Jest extension is trying to do stuff at the same time as the main build and causing EPERM errors in both the build and the Jest extension. We need a quick way of stopping and starting the Jest auto-runs.

Ideally a button that is "run all changed tests".
