Parcel 2: Too many open files causes a silent crash.

[willstott101]

🐛 bug report

Silent crash on startup! Suspect due to too many open files. In the same state if I run jest --watch I get a helpful error - which clued me up.

🎛 Configuration (.babelrc, package.json, cli command)

Fully default parcel config (i.e. no specific config).

Typescript project with a simple package/tsconfig - building the project with pure tsc, but building examples without typechecking via parcel: parcel example/index.html

🤔 Expected Behavior

Dev server should start up and give me some nice coloured cli output 🤗

😯 Current Behavior

Silent crash even with verbose mode 😢

npx parcel example/index.html --log-level verbose

Literally no output whatsoever on stdout/err.

💁 Possible Solution

Seems to be related to number of open files. If I close my IDE/TortoiseHg things start working fine and dandy again. I can re-open those applications, and the command starts failing once more.

🔦 Context

Using as file watching server during dev. At the very least there should be a helpful error.
