emitter.setMaxListeners()

[drgould]

Just thought I'd drop this here since it took me FOREVER to figure this out.

If you're getting these errors:

warning: possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit.

just set the maxListeners option in your watch config to something large. Like this:

watch: {
  options: {
    maxListeners: 99,
    ...
  }
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks, @drgould! @shama, what do you think about processing this warning in the task to tell people to set maxListeners instead of emitter.setMaxListeners()?

Sounds good to me.

if (process.setMaxListeners) { process.setMaxListeners(10000); }
