Nuxt.js: ERROR: System limit for number of file watchers reached

[adavie1]

Version

v2.8.1

Reproduction link

http://localhost

Steps to reproduce

Starting nuxt via npm run dev.

What is expected ?

For the application to start.

What is actually happening?

Compile errors on the server.

Additional comments?

I've used 2 projects that rely on the latest version of Nuxt:

https://github.com/fritsvt/laravel-nuxt-authentication

and

https://github.com/cretueusebiu/laravel-nuxt

Both exhibit the same behavour when running Nuxt. Since this is a Nuxt error, I'm reporting here. I've already created in issue for each of these projects as well.

_{This bug report is available on Nuxt community (#c9592)}

Not directly related to Nuxt but to your system watcher limits.

Try echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
