Error: EMFILE: too many open files

[zachleat]

Removing the fs-extra dependency in 1.x caused this error to crop back up.

fs-extra solved this problem for both reads and writes using graceful-fs behind the scenes

Marginally related (but probably not related?) issue in 0.x: #1980

Shipping with beta 9 and canary 47

I just upgraded to 1.0, and started getting this error. Not sure if there's something I need to do locally to solve this?

@zachleat is there something with passthrough files that could cause this? Was trying on 2.0.0 canary 9, canary 12, and also tried on 1.0.1

We are still seeing this on a project with 368 template files(html) and roughly 15,700 images/other passthrough files(16k total).

• Only happens on windows, not on mac
• Doesn't happen if we lower down to around 15,300 passthrough files total
