I have a gulpfile.ls and it works perfecly on Linux Debian 4.3.5-1 (good-guy) and Windows 8 but crashes as soon as calling gulp-watch ... on Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (bad-guy). Here is the crash scene:

...

I tried copying all node_modules/ folder from good-guy to bad-guy. Result is the same (there is nothing related with modules themselves).

Npm and node versions are similar:

  • on good-guy: npm: 3.8.2 and node: 4.3.0
  • on bad-guy: npm: 3.10.5 and node: 4.4.7

It looks like you are exceeding the system limit on the number of files you can monitor.

Do you need to watch all files inside node_modules? If not, try setting an ignore pattern—e.g. watch(['**/*.js', '!node_modules/'])

If you do need a large number of file watchers, you can increase the watchers limit:

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

See the Guard wiki for details.

Yess, this is the problem itself. No, I can live without watching node_modules :) Thank you.
