Issue

With Hyper 2.0.0 on Windows 10, storing the .hyper.js configuration file in OneDrive with Files On Demand is not supported. Attempting to run commands such as hyper i hyper-snazzy returns the following error:

Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, fstat

The issue is resolved by disabling OneDrive's Files On Demand feature. The problem lies with libuv; it was fixed in v1.14.0. Node > 8.5.0 has the fixed version of libuv, but with Electron lagging behind Node, it doesn't look like this issue will be fixed until Electron 2.0 is released (looks like Node v8.9.3 will be included in that release).

For more details about the problem, see this issue thread from Node.js.

For those affected by this issue: turning off OneDrive's Files On Demand feature will fix the problem. Once Hyper starts using Electron 2.0 following its release, this issue should be fixed for good.
