I had the same issue... Just delete lock file and buildings works. I think we need there some kind of filter to ignore lock files.
I'll look into it tomorrow.

@K-Leon Thanks.
I initialised a news project, coping the codes to the project, problem solved.

I've recently been getting this error a lot. What were the steps to fix this? I've had to remove the project and re-clone to get it to work, but then the error will randomly popup sometimes again and I have to repeat the process.

Edit: rm -rf ./buckd worked for me. Seemed a bit scary to do, but validated it seems like an okay solution after reading the documentation https://buckbuild.com/command/buckd.html#content

The .buckd directory in the workspace is deleted

as it will just kill your buck process

[emmajam]

rm -rf ./buckd also worked for me 👍

[iraniamir]

rm -rf ./buckd seems good way but its not working on linux !?

[ghost]

Yes
