Error: EMFILE, too many open files with Gulp.watch

My gulpfile.js looks like this:

gulp.task('default', ['build', 'browser-sync'], function () {
    gulp.watch("**/*.css", ['bs-reload']);
    gulp.watch(["**/*.js", "!**/*/node_modules/**/*.*"], ['bs-reload']);
    gulp.watch("**/*.html", ['bs-reload']);
});

Even if I exclude node_modules it tries to add clocks to all node_modules.

How can this be ruled out?

Note that node_modules does not exist in the project root, infecting it above the project root, so why does it even bother including the same one?

Try this as a tighter replacement for fs

:

graceful-fs



Global patch fs

:

var realFs = require('fs')
var gracefulFs = require('graceful-fs')
gracefulFs.gracefulify(realFs)
