Bug: Stuck on "Starting the development server" when parent folder contains '#'

Created by: WeebNetsu

React version: 17.0.2

  1. Create folder with '#' in name ie: mkdir myfolder/#trash/
  2. Create react app in folder: npx create-react-app myApp
  3. Start app: npm start

Gets stuck on "Starting the development server..." forever

The expected behavior

It should start and run the app as expected when creating a new app or warn you about invalid parent directory name
