BrowserSync Errors Prevent Gulp From Starting

[kjprince]

Was working on a project yesterday and Gulp + Browsersync were working just fine.

Now I've noticed that BrowserSync fails to clean up after itself, so when trying to resume working on the project this happened:

[13:31:48] Using gulpfile ~/Sites/vagrant-dev/www/quoteengine/web/app/themes/quoteengine/gulpfile.js
[13:31:48] Starting 'watch'...
[13:31:52] Finished 'watch' after 4.34 s

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: listen EADDRINUSE
    at errnoException (net.js:905:11)
    at Server._listen2 (net.js:1043:14)
    at listen (net.js:1065:10)
    at Server.listen (net.js:1139:5)

I checked to see what was happening on port 3000 $ lsof -i tcp:3000 and found this process: node 20840 kj 35u IPv4 0x74441d14c4e0845b 0t0 TCP *:hbci (LISTEN)

I killed the process and Gulp started right up.
$ kill -9 20840
$ gulp watch

So it's fixed? Does the problem happen again?

Either way, this seems like a troubleshooting issue so you can bring it up on https://discourse.roots.io/ if there's still a problem.
