extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a permission error when trying to access the /Users/ryan/.Trash directory, and a workaround may involve changing the directory or checking permissions.

Guidance

  • The error message EPERM: operation not permitted, scandir '/Users/ryan/.Trash' suggests a permission issue when trying to access the .Trash directory.
  • Try changing the current working directory to a different location using the cd command to see if the issue persists.
  • Check the permissions of the /Users/ryan/.Trash directory to ensure that the user has read and execute permissions.
  • Consider running the command with elevated privileges using sudo to temporarily bypass permission issues.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to directory permissions rather than code syntax.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the user's environment and directory structure, and further investigation into the directory permissions and user settings may be necessary to resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by changing the directory or checking permissions, as the root cause of the issue is likely related to the user's environment and directory structure.
