@akashkrshukla did you try this solution #11406 (comment)?

[sidharthachatterjee]

@akashkrshukla ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached is thrown when your system's file watchers limit is hit. The solution @romach linked to should work.

Closing this for now. Please feel free to reopen if that doesn't help.
