I have a test suite that runs a bunch of tests that read and write files to disk pretty rapidly. I get this error when running the test suite in Node 8.0.0 and 8.1.0. It runs fine in 6.10.3.

Assertion failed: (0), function uv_close, file ../deps/uv/src/unix/core.c, line 173.

This error does NOT occur if I disable the chokidar file watcher. If I still enable the watcher, but just ignore all events, the error still occurs.

I'm on OSX, and if I disable FsEvents (useFsEvents: false), then it works.

I get nothing else with this, no stack trace, no details. The process just dies with this message...

Seeing this in 8.2.1 as well

FWIW I think I may have fixed this in my own project by waiting for a 'ready' event before calling watcher.close(). See here:

I have noticed the same problem as yours and this hasn't happened before. How did you fix it and would it have any bad effects? Because everything seems okay while running but the problem only occurs after I stop the server.
