MaxListenersExceededWarning when running many watches

[dobesv]

I run a handful of watches and I get these warnings:

(node:15779) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 unpipe listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
(node:15779) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 drain listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

When this happens, it doesn't seem to detect changes to files. It's possible this is actually a nodemon issue.

Upgrading nodemon seems to have helped in terms of detecting changes. However, it still prints these warnings prior to launching any nodemon process. Maybe just need to call emitter.setMaxListeners() somewhere?

To reproduce, just set up a bunch of watch configs.

🤔 I would rather not call setMaxListeners by default.

I will look into adding an option in the config

see #81, there is a release coming soon that will allow this setting
