GenServer file monitor gets dead all the time, why?

All of a sudden in my new, almost empty and basic project I’ve started having this in the terminal:

    ** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started                                           
[error] exited in: GenServer.call(:phoenix_live_reload_file_monitor, :subscribe, 5000)                                                  
    ** (EXIT) no process: the process is not alive or there's no process currently associated with the given name, possibly because its application isn't started    

How to fix it?

So what did you change so far? What is your elixir, erlang, phoenix and phoenix_live_reload versions? What operating system do you use? Are you running natively or in a container/VM with a drive that is shared with the host? Any other detail that feels important to you?

If you want to use the GNU / Linux operating system you should be missing the inotify-tools package so that you can always watch your file system.
