customize file watch path spec to get rid of warnings from chokidar · Issue #2022 · mozilla/web-ext (original) (raw)

Is this a feature request or a bug?

Bug/feature? Both? A feature to avoid the bug

What is the current behavior?

running web-ext run triggers too many watchers and it throws errors:

Error from chokidar : Error: ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached

What is the expected or desired behavior?

I would like to customize which files are watched so it doesn't output a long list of warnings for every file in the node_modules folder.
