i've search the net but after hours i still cant fix it . i have to mention that im using windows in this case . i'd appreciate any help .


Solution

  • That's actually a Windows specific issue. It works fine on Linux for me. Increase the MAX_WAIT_TIME in the FileWatcher. It's actually timing out.

    Have a check at this

    You have to increase this:

    const MAX_WAIT_TIME = 120000;
