Projects with over 100 files or so throw an EMFILE error

[RickyRomero]

Solution is to rejigger handlers.js to use fs.readFileSync().

[RickyRomero]

Actually, looks like my project is even bigger than readFileSync can handle. :-\

[robashton]

Okay - well this will need looking at - the file handles should be closed (I'm surprised you're getting this actually, I'm working on fairly large projects myself)

[robashton]

(And by need looking at, I'll look at it now :-))

[robashton]

I don't think this is an issue with large projects, I've done a test with over 1000 files and it works well.

There IS a bug here clearly - just don't know where! Very annoying

If it makes a difference, I'm on a superfast SSD. Might have something to do with it.

It looks like since everything is running asynchronously, it's opening hundreds of files at once and getting hung up.

[robashton]

That could cause it (crikey), although all of my machines are on SSD I'm currently on the MBA rather than my crazy beast - surprised in that case that the synchronous calls don't work as a fix.

I guess I can put a limit in to throttle the number of concurrent actions, shouldn't be too hard to code up.
