Storybook local build issue on macOS - Watchpack Error (watcher): Error: EMFILE: too many open files, watch #244

We are getting following error while local build of storybook on macOS machines. Watchpack Error (watcher): Error: EMFILE: too many open files, watch

Versions: - Storybook - 8.2.8 Webpack - 5.88.2

Interestingly this issue is not observed on other platforms.

Increasing the open file size does not seem to work as its already set to high.

Following configuration does work but need a permanent fix for this issue.

watchOptions: {
     poll: 1000,
}
