Alright I restarted the computer, and now everything works fine again.
I solved this way https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux "Visual Studio Code is unable to watch for file changes in this large workspace" (error ENOSPC)#
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

thanks. it's really helpfull
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
Thanks man , you are a hero
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
Give me the error:
sysctl: illegal option -- p
Using on MacOS
Serve your app as root.....It's work!
Serve your app as root.....It's work!
Could you explain ?
Run sudo npm run serve inside you app folder or run this commands as below:
Noooooooo don't run your app as root! 💀 🚨 That can cause all kinds of security problems!
What if I deploy to netlify and encounter that error when netlify tries to build the app? On local it's fine
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
worked
Yes It is working
I'm getting this error on Netlify. Anyone know how to fix it?
I got it today too and did a "clear cache and redeploy" and it worked.
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
worked
worked too. thanks

Reopening this since it looks the above is a popular answer and that this issue is prevalent enough to warrant better resources/warnings on
We should do two things for now:
@sidharthachatterjee where exactly do you see this quoted in the documentation, what page? :thinking:
@sidharthachatterjee, is this taken ? If not, I can take it up, but definitely need your help. :D
@eduarmreyes That's a very good question! Perhaps a new page linked to in https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/debugging/
@KirankumarAmbati If @eduarmreyes is taking up the documentation you could try out the second point in the list! Happy to help 🙂
I'm currently working on this. @sidharthachatterjee I'm unable to assign or add labels. Thanks for your help!
I still get this occasionally on Netlify with gatsby build
, even through my project is fairly small. It's difficult to debug, because it doesn't occur every time. Clearing the cache & redeploying will fix it, but also, just a normal re-deploy will often work.
There's no sudo
access during netlify builds, so changing the system limit isn't an option. Also, manually re-deploying isn't a real "solution" - I have client websites that rebuild after CMS changes, and I don't want to be 'on call' to click the 'redeploy + clear cache' button whenever this happens.
Is there a way to see and/or limit what files are being watched? I don't know much about how Gatsby works under the hood, but, assuming that gatsby watches files in order to re-build while developing, does gatsby build
really need to be watching anything in the first place?
It's work fine for me ! Thanks very much !
I still get this issue with Gatsby 2.13.73, and as @good-idea wrote, manually re-deploying is not a viable long term solution especially when making websites for clients with CMS. Why do files even need to be "watched" when building for production?

Thanks man! it saved my time :raised_hands:
it still happens ... with the quick start guide :eyes:
Note that @pieh answered the question of "why do files need to be watched while building for production?" over in #15843:
Because used package for globbing + watching (
chokidar
) doesn't have way to disable watching. We were looking for alternatives, but there were none that actually allow to disable watching. We could use different packages for builds (so only globbing, without watching) and develop (globbing + watching) - but this introduce potential to cause differences between builds and develop
Looks like this issue should be taken up with chokidar first to add a watch option, then a followup issue created for Gatsby to implement the watch option.
thank you so much!! It worked for me :D
Also, chokidar isn't going to add an option to disable watching, since it's literally a file watcher. The only possible solution I can think of would be for Gatsby to switch to a different library for traversing directories that allows both watch and non-watch options.

Dang Sid beat me to the punch i was ganna say this yea it has to do with (Im assuming your on linux) how linux has there default setup of file watchers its an easy fix just by running that command in terminal or you can go here https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_visual-studio-code-is-unable-to-watch-for-file-changes-in-this-large-workspace-error-enospc
on VS Code website they have a whole section on it teaching you how to solve this issue

Hello! Any updates on this issue? I encounter this occasionally when building my gatsby site in Jenkins. I don't have permissions to the modify the inotify max_user_watches in my Jenkins build environment.

@ethannkschneider I was running into this problem when building in a restrictive Jenkins environment as well. Using CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=1
avoids hitting the watched limit for me.
Following is the best solution. Hit the command - echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
delete react node_modules
rm -r node_modules
yarn or npm install
yarn start or npm start
if error occurs use this method again

Tks!!!
@cedricdelpoux did you solve this error?
Give me the error:
sysctl: illegal option -- p
Using on MacOS
got the same issue: solved with: increasing users. echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
Is work!!
@irokhes sysctl -p
is used to reload the changed config from /etc/sysctl.conf
on Linux. You will have to find out how to change sysctl.conf
(probably located somewhere else) on Mac. Then you can change the fs.inotify.max_user_watches
-property (if it is called the same on Mac).
I just had to close Visual Studio Code and that solved the problem.
If you are not interested in the technical details and only want to get Listen to work:
If you are running Debian, RedHat, or another similar Linux distribution, run the following in a terminal:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p
If you are running ArchLinux, run the following command instead (see here for why):
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/40-max-user-watches.conf && sudo sysctl --system
Then paste it in your terminal and press on enter to run it.

Alright I restarted the computer, and now everything works fine again.
Thanks! It the computer's way of saying "restart me"
This is happening here in Travis too, I think the crux of the issue is it's watching /static
. Even if it has to run chokidar
in build
mode, if we could pass a watch ignore pattern, we could ignore folders like static
. Unless doing so would prevent it from copying to build? 🤔 Using CHOKIDAR_USEPOLLING=1
seems to help.
Description
The web app compiles but when I reload the website, the compilation end with an error.
Steps to reproduce
Just type
gatsby develop
and if you click an article for example or you reload (ctrl + r) the website compilation will end.Repo: There you go.
Expected result
gatsby develop
should work.Actual result
