This question is an exact duplicate of:
I am using windows. ... In my CMD, was using tinker, myql, serve, etc... and they all went well...
Suddenly, when i exit tinker and enter tinker again... this error comes up
[ErrorException] rmdir(C:\Usersobert\AppData\Local\Temp\php-xdg-runtime-dir-fallback-): Directory not empty
Then sure enough, I tried removing, can't I tried renaming the folder to something else, it worked... "php artisan tinker" works... but I can't run usual command $user = App\User::all(); Then I exit... then enter tinker again... again the [ErrorException] rmdir(C:\Usersobert\AppData\Local\Temp\php-xdg-runtime-dir-fallback-): Directory not empty
Firstly, I searched similar problems but the solution doesn't work for me permanently (PHP Artisan Tinker not working with Laravel 5.5.16)
Secondly, I tried making laravel new NewProject , run tinker... still same ErrorException
Thirdly, I tried composer update or composer require laravel/tinker ... then add the Laravel\Tinker\TinkerServiceProvider::class, inside config/app.php => providers.... still same ErrorException
Btw , this is the full length error

Can anybody please help? Thanks

EDIT: The below is no longer necessary. Version 0.8.13 is already out and fixes the issue.
Same issue in Laravel 5.5. I just downgraded to the previous version of Psy Shell until it gets fixed by going into the project directory and entering
composer require psy/psysh:0.8.11
at the command line to downgrade to the previous version of Psy Shell. They'll fix it eventually and then I'll update again to the new version.
I think I just found out the solution... it may not be the best one... or temporary solution, i guess
I basically manually delete the psysh folder every time before tinker
rmdir c:\Usersobert\AppData\Local\Temp\php-xdg-runtime-dir-fallback-\psysh then tinker
Oh btw, above I mentioned I already tried removing but failed, but when I tried removing psysh instead of "php-xdg-runtime-dir-fallback-" , then it worked... Also it turns out the tinker commands etc works ok too... Again u still have to remove manually though.
Anybody with better solution, please add below, I am really eager to know why or how come it happened? And most importantly more permanent solution.
I already posted this question or searched similar issues in laracasts, but no answers yet.
Cheers
This is a bug with an underlying library on Windows. See bobthecow/psysh#430 for more info and a temporary fix until a workaround is released.
