No Longer Able to Increase Maxfile Limits MacOS Recent Versions
I am currently not able to change the ulimit on my machine. As of the newest MacOs releases (11.7.9, 12.6.8, and 13.5) I am no longer able to increase the ulimit of my computer using the strategies outlined here: https://wilsonmar.github.io/maximum-limits/ https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/453050/how-to-increase-global-maxfiles-ulimit-on-osx-13-1-ventura?newreg=44fe471004094ccdb3ba51c1c3f9f84a Running sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 65536 200000 returns Could not set resource limits: 150: Operation not permitted while System Integrity Protection is engaged. This is relevant for me as I am using Vite which is currently broken and blocks me from developing locally. It is mentioned in their troubleshooting page (https://vitejs.dev/guide/troubleshooting.html#requests-are-stalled-forever) that Vite causes a large number of open files and how to increase the limit. There are similar comments in the Ruby Vite troubleshooting page (https://vite-ruby.netlify.app/guide/troubleshooting.html#requests-to-vite-sporadically-return-a-500-error-response). I have added a comment in the Vite discussion board about this issue. There is a discussion the Apple Stack Exchange that reports this problem but no one has provided a solution yet (https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/462489/how-to-increase-global-max-opened-files-limit-on-osx-13-5-ventura)
