Steps:

  • configure /etc/sysctl.conf by adding fs.inotify.max_user_watches=4096
  • save file (as admin), restart OS
  • open a .code-workspace that has more than 1 large folder in it (so that nsfw is used), e.g. open vscode
  • notice in devtools this error is reported:
3963:0831/080714.882510:INFO:CONSOLE(206)] "%c  ERR color: #f33 [File Watcher (nsfw)] terminated unexpectedly and is restarted again...", source: vscode-file://vscode-app/home/parallels/GitDevelopment/monaco/out/vs/platform/log/common/log.js (206)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Napi::Error'
  what():  Inotify limit reached

I am positive this used to work in a way that we could catch the error and show it to the user via this code:

vscode/src/vs/platform/files/node/watcher/nsfw/nsfwWatcherService.ts

Lines 53 to 63 in ee1655a

process.on('uncaughtException', (e: Error | string) => {
// Specially handle ENOSPC errors that can happen when
// the watcher consumes so many file descriptors that
// we are running into a limit. We only want to warn
// once in this case to avoid log spam.
// See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/7950
if (e === 'Inotify limit reached' && !this.enospcErrorLogged) {
this.enospcErrorLogged = true;
this.error('Inotify limit reached (ENOSPC)');
}
});

But that is no longer the case it seems.

Root issue is similar to #111288 and #106399

Lets try building the native module with NODE_API_SWALLOW_UNTHROWABLE_EXCEPTIONS nodejs/node-addon-api#975 and see if it helps.

Issue is different from originally thought to be #131957 (comment)

JS callback from nsfw https://github.com/Axosoft/nsfw/blob/e8a6e953b5ec4ed09b1e73cea944fcfc6149ea3e/src/NSFW.cpp#L272 can throw via https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-api/blob/da2e754a021e418a3ca36f3c10ea134c9541959f/napi-inl.h#L2217-L2225 because the default JS error callback throws https://github.com/Axosoft/nsfw/blob/e8a6e953b5ec4ed09b1e73cea944fcfc6149ea3e/js/src/index.js#L63 leading to the above crash. There are couple of fixes for this,

  1. On our side, we can provide our own errorCallback in the NSFW constructor https://github.com/Axosoft/nsfw/blob/e8a6e953b5ec4ed09b1e73cea944fcfc6149ea3e/index.d.ts#L64 so basically it will allow us to replace

    vscode/src/vs/platform/files/node/watcher/nsfw/nsfwWatcherService.ts

    Lines 53 to 63 in ee1655a

    process.on('uncaughtException', (e: Error | string) => {
    // Specially handle ENOSPC errors that can happen when
    // the watcher consumes so many file descriptors that
    // we are running into a limit. We only want to warn
    // once in this case to avoid log spam.
    // See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/7950
    if (e === 'Inotify limit reached' && !this.enospcErrorLogged) {
    this.enospcErrorLogged = true;
    this.error('Inotify limit reached (ENOSPC)');
    }
    });
    while also fixing the above crash.

  2. On the native module side, catch the exception from C++ side and rethrow it

I can try upstreaming 2) in the next debt week but 1) should unblock us for #132483
