Bad pattern

glob

var glob = require("glob");

glob('api/**/*.js', {}, function (error, files) {
    console.log(files);
});

[
    'api/one/pages/redirect.js',
    'api/two/pages/redirect.js'
]

saw

saw('api/**/*.js')
.on('ready', function (files) {
    console.log(files)
})

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^

cwd does not help as well

Hi,

the EMFILE error is probably your OS complaining about a watcher limit. Try this solution: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#2479 (comment)

But I'd like to anyway, so you have decided in this issue
