Webstorm, PHPStorm Inotify watch limit is too low
Raw
webstorm-phpstorm-inotify-fix
To prevent this situation it is recommended to increase the watches limit (to, say, 512K):
1. Add the following line to either /etc/sysctl.conf file or a new *.conf file (e.g. idea.conf) under /etc/sysctl.d/ directory:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 524288
2. Then run this command to apply the change:
sudo sysctl -p --system
And don't forget to restart your IDE.
