Node-fs-extra: move/remove fails in electron if directory contains .asar package

[ZFail]

• Operating System: Windows 7 64bit / Ubuntu 18.04 64bit
• Node.js version: electron 3.0.0
• fs-extra version: 7.0.0

My application is NOT packed. I`m moving external folder that contains .asar package.
An error occurs, when you move a directory that contains an .asar package (for example electron.asar from electron dist):

fs.moveSync('d:\downloads\z', 'd:\downloads\z2')

Another error occurs when you trying remove directory.

Yeah, fs-extra is known to work a bit weird in electron sometimes, it seems electron's fs doesn't exactly mirror Node's. If someone can get to the bottom of this, that'd be great.

Set process.noAsar = true may be work.

not only move, copy is also not work.

[ddombrowsky]

The process.noAsar = true workaround seems to work. Not sure if there's a cleaner solution. Maybe fs-extra should always use original-fs if it exists?

[RyanZim]

May possibly be fixed by https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/23890; have not tested.

[RyanZim]

Is anyone still experiencing this issue with modern versions of fs-extra & electron?

[RyanZim]

Assuming this is fixed.
