I'm learning graphql and using prisma-binding for graphql operations. I'm facing this nodemon error while I'm starting my node server and its giving me the path of schema file which is auto generated by a graphql-cli. Can anyone tell me what this error is all about ?
Error:
Internal watch failed: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, watch '/media/rehan-sattar/Development/All projects/GrpahQl/graph-ql-course/graphql-prisma/src/generated
Thank you folks!!
If you are using Linux, your project is hitting your system's file watchers limit
To fix this, on your terminal, try:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
I sometimes get this issue when working with VSCode on my Ubuntu machine.
In my case the following workaround helps:
stop the watcher, close VScode, start the watcher, open VSCode again.
You need to increase the inotify watchers limit for users of your system. You can do this from the command line with:
sudo sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000
That will persist only until you reboot, though. To make this permanent, add a file named /etc/sysctl.d/10-user-watches.conf with the following contents:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 100000
After making the above (or any other) change, you can reload the settings from all sysctl configuration files in /etc with sudo sysctl -p.
On Linux, I've actually run with sudo.
sudo npm start
