I have same issue in Ubuntu 18

sudo sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches=999999999 works for me. 9999 is not enough...

Do you have space left on the location parcel is trying to build to?

If that's not the issue, than I guess this is a chokidar issue. Could you have a try with the current master branch?

DeMoorJasper on 24 May 2018

Yes, I'm sure there are enough space (both inode & block).
How do I "_try with the current master branch?_"

walfud on 24 May 2018

If you're using yarn you can do it like this:

git clone https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel.git
cd parcel
yarn
yarn link

than go into your project and do:

yarn link "parcel-bundler"

And make sure you use the script section of package.json as I'm not sure how to do this with a global install

DeMoorJasper on 24 May 2018

Ok, I'll try

Finally I found solution here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13751/kernel-inotify-watch-limit-reached
Ubuntu set max_user_watches = 8192 for me (virtualbox). When I change to 99999, everything works fine

I am experiencing the same issue.

It appears that every file in node_modules (recursively) is being watched for changes.

Intuitively, this should not be necessary. Only the source files should be watched.

Right?

Is there any way to disable watching all of node_modules?

Besides, I don't have this issue in my another PC with Ubuntu 16.

jxltom on 22 Jun 2018

Note that above command is not permenent. Persist it by echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=999999999 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf and sudo sysctl --system

whoever getting this type of error please delete the node_modules folder and in the terminal type "npm install"
i hope it will help you
