Increase the maximum number of file watches that are allowed for each user.
The ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached clearly states that there is an issue with inotify resources.
Inspect the current value maximum number of watches per user.
$ sysctl fs.inotify.max_user_watches
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 65536
Alter configuration to update the maximum number of watches per user.
$ echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=$(expr $(sysctl --values fs.inotify.max_user_watches) \* 2) | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/98-max_user_watches.conf
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=131072
Load updated configuration.
