@Jocs Maybe an issue with this function. Also network mapped folders cause this error, you need to use polling for network disks.

[Jocs]

you need to use polling for network disks.

I don't quite understand what is saved to network disks? Do we use network disks?

You need to set watcherUsePolling to true in preference.json if you want to watch files on a Network File System (NFS) such as iCloud Drive or Google Drive. Setting this to polling continuously checks all files for changes which can result in very bad performance and high CPU usage in larger directories. Could you please confirm that this is not a chokidar issue? Is it reproducible with v0.15.1?

chokidar documentation:

usePolling (default: false).
Whether to use fs.watchFile (backed by polling), or fs.watch. If polling
leads to high CPU utilization, consider setting this to false. It is
typically necessary to set this to true to successfully watch files over
a network, and it may be necessary to successfully watch files in other
non-standard situations.

@fxha I use usePolling on macOS system, and it works.
