The exclusions are not set correctly and as a result the contents of node_modules will not get ignored, causing a huge amount of file watchers to be created.
This is because chokidar, which is used by livereload, appends string exclusions (other possible exclusions are globstrings and regular expressions) with
"/**"
. Since our exclusions are.git/
andnode_modules/
this results in the following exclusions in chokidar:This pull request removes the trailing slashes so that the matching works in chokidar and the contents of the node_modules folder gets ignored.
As a side note the reason .git was ignored even with this problem present is because chokidar ignores .git by default.
