Actual behavior

When starting the app I am running into a ENOSPC issue. It seems it watching too many files. I am able increase the limit but based upon the error message it seems to be watching node module files? I tried adding a watch ignore to the renderer webpack config as docuemented here. Still get the issue though.

An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, watch '/../node_modules/webpack-dev-middleware/node_modules/ajv/dist/vocabularies/jtd/error.js'
