Have you increased the number of inotify watches?

I'm having issue on mac, but never had it on Linux after setting inotify limits sufficiently high

You still have to put gas in the tank of your car, no matter if you own 20k used Civic or 350k Ferrari

Maintain your gut health is your responsibility. Maintaining your OS to be able to run software (paid or free) – likewise. IDEA even displays helpful tips asking you to do so.
