Describe the bug
I am trying to run a simple nativeScript app by this comman ( tns run android ) and I got this error

Error: watch /home/abdullatif/Documents/projects/nativescript/native/app ENOSPC at _errnoException (util.js:1022:11) at FSWatcher.start (fs.js:1382:19) at Object.fs.watch (fs.js:1408:11) at createFsWatchInstance (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativescript/node_modules/chokidar/lib/nodefs-handler.js:37:15)

I installed Genymotion, it has worked successfully at the first time but after that it did not work, I have not change any thing in my code or my setting

ENOSPC as the error suggests usually means that there is not enough space on the device - verify that you have enough space before running npm i (which is called with tns run android)

Hi @AbdullatifJamous891,

As @NickIliev said it migth be disk space issue.

It may also be an issue with OS setting for max watchers or max number of opened file descriptors.

It might also be an issue specific to Genymotion emulators.

Can you please post:

• OS type and version
• Node and npm versions
• Is the app angular, can you also reproduce on plain JS hello world app?
• Can you reproduce the same issue with real device or standard Android Studio emulators?
