BS becomes unresponsive after two file changes on Node 11

Issue details

It seems that there is some kind of endless loop triggered after a couple of file changes.

Here’s a video showing off the issue: https://youtu.be/MfnATcrsXt0 It’s quite long, here are some timestamps: 00:00 - I run Browser Sync 02:30 - I create test.js 02:39 - I change test.js 03:16 - I change test.js again 03:24 - Browser Sync becomes unresponsive

I tested latest Node 10, the issue doesn’t occur there.

Steps to reproduce/test case

1. Clone https://github.com/dimitarnestorov/browsersync-node11.git
2. Install dependencies
3. Run node script.js
4. Create a random file inside the build folder
5. Make a change inside the new file
6. Make another change inside the new file

Same issue here but I am not using Laravel nor weback. I have it configured to watch a few thousand static files. Works fine on Node 10.x. Locks up after a few minutes on Node 11.x. Browser-sync 2.26.3.

I think I’m seeing the same thing. No luck downgrading browsersync, but after switching node down to v10.x (and rebuilding node_modules) browsersync has been working smoothly for a couple hours.
