Freezing everything on windows 10

[karanmandal]

File-watcher is consuming too much disk also freezing everything, I tried by configuring, interval and binary Interval to 2000, but still, it starts hanging after some time.

user.dev.json

{
     "fileWatcherPlugin": {
          "touchFile": "./public/index.php",
          "ignored": "./public/index.php",
          "watchFileGlobs": [
               "./public/**/*.js",
               "./public/**/*.css",
               "./public/**/*.php"
          ],
          "interval": 2000,
          "binaryInterval": 2000
     },
     "wpThemeServer": {
          "enable": true,
          "host": "127.0.0.1",
          "port": 8090,
          "sslCert": null,
          "sslKey": null
     },
     "injectWpThemeClient": {
          "override": null,
          "file": "./build/index.php"
     }
}

@karanmandal,

Yikes! Can you provide any more details?

• Basically how can I reproduce this on my machine?
• Is this just a bare brand new theme that you're testing, or have you added any other NPMs to your project?
• Etc...?

Thanks for reporting the bug and my apologies for the hassle.

@karanmandal,

I just realized that you put "Windows 10" in the Subject. Thanks.

Hi @karanmandal,

I just published a new version of the utils package. All it does is set polling to "false" by default. According to the chokidar README, that can cause "high CPU utilization."

If that doesn't help you out, you should look at these chokidar options:

• depth
• awaitWriteFinish
• atomic

Also, I wasn't able to reproduce this on my dev machine. If you provide enough details on your setup, then I can try again. I don't mind abandoning chokidar for something else. But I'd need to be able to test it all myself.

I hope that helps. Good luck!

Hi @karanmandal,

Since I was unable to reproduce this and so much time has gone by, I am going to close this. If you're able to instruct me to create a reproducible scenario, then feel free to reopen it. And I'll take a look then.

Thanks.
