Moving files to parent folder gives error

[woubuc]

I'm trying to move files from a subfolder to process.cwd() but when I try, it gives an ENOTEMPTY error.

{ [Error: ENOTEMPTY, rename '/Users/wouter/Dev/project-templates/project-template/bin/']
  errno: -66,
  code: 'ENOTEMPTY',
  path: '/Users/wouter/Dev/project-templates/project-template/bin/' }

It seems like it's trying to rename the cwd (as I'm testing the cli I'm working on in the bin folder directly). The same thing happens when I use npm link and test it in a newly created test directory.

@andrewrk am I missing a setting or something, or is this just not possible with mv?

+1 I get another error but is when trying to move a folder one level up (Like moving to ../)

fs.js:310
  binding.stat(pathModule._makeLong(path), req);
          ^

TypeError: path must be a string or Buffer
    at Object.fs.exists (fs.js:310:11)
    at Object.destExists (...)
(...)/node_modules/node-mv/index.js:50:76
    at FSReqWrap.cb [as oncomplete] (fs.js:312:19)

Code

What is tested so far, is taken directly from examples:

  /**
   * Moves the directory tree one level up.
   * @param {string} from
   * @returns {Promise}
   */
  __moveDirs (from) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      mv(from, this.__dest, (err) => {
        if (err) {
          reject(err);
        } else {
          resolve();
        }
      });
    });
  }

Where this.__dest is the parent of from

I'll try another solution in the meantime

FYI,

I was having this problem and solved it using another npm module, copy-dir-cli. Simple but works great!
