Watchify failing with reactify

[eyscode]

I'm using browserify, watchify and reactify in a project, browserify runs perfect, but watchify is failing, I think could be a problem of reactify or watchify, I'm reporting the issue here and reactify github, the watcher is initiated by npm start in package.json as follows:

{...
  "scripts": {
    "start": "watchify -o js/bundle.js -v -d js/app.js",
    "build": "browserify . -t [envify --NODE_ENV production] | uglifyjs -cm > js/bundle.min.js",
    "test": "jest"
  },
  "browserify": {
    "transform": [
      "reactify",
      "envify"
    ],
...}

Terminal output:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

$ man errno | grep ENOSPC
       ENOSPC          No space left on device (POSIX.1)

Make sure you have enough free space left on your disk?

That's weird because I have a lot of space on my disk.

@eyscode Weird - looks like a pretty vanilla build. Got anything I can test?

[eyscode]

Don't worry. Now, it works perfect, and I didn't do anything, just restarted the computer. I think my PC became crazy for a moment. Whatever, thanks for the help! :+1:

Same issue. only solution is to restart .. and i have a lot of space on my disk

Chiming in to say I have run out of disk space multiple times during development. Very odd since I have lots of space on disk. Only noticed this is Yosemite. Also there are a lot of other factors that might be the root cause for me (eg Photoshop, Chrome).

Quitting terminal and killing finder usually brings my disk space back up.

I had the same issue. Seemed that in my case the error was caused by inotify, it used to many handles .

Use lsof | awk '{ print $2; }' | sort -rn | uniq -c | sort -rn | head

to check which processes are eating up your handles.
