EMFILE error when using fs.watch on many items
I am using your module and i am getting error because i have too many files to watch.
app.use(require('easy-livereload')({ watchDirs: [ path.join(__dirname, 'public') ], checkFunc: function(file) { return /.(css|js|jade)$/.test(file); }, port: process.env.LIVERELOAD_PORT || 35729 }));
Please try increasing the file descriptor limit.
What is the result of the following?
ulimit -n
Do you have more files than that number?
How about try something like this?
ulimit -n 65536
I does not have so many file and i am still get this error
throw errnoException(err, 'watch');
