    The cause: This error happens because if you’re using Linux, your project has reached the maximum of your system’s file watchers.

    The solution: Try the following on your terminal to fix this:

    echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p

    This issue sometimes occurs when I use VSCode on Ubuntu.

    The following solution works in my case:

    Stop the watcher and close VScode.
