hot-reload not working with k3d filesystem on macOS (M1): "Bad file descriptor"

[yanchogeorgiev]

Describe the bug
Hot-reload is not working on MacOS (M1). The router is unable to start.
Tested the same setup on Ubuntu and seems to work without any issue.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install k3d and tilt
2. Load configuration from this example: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/router/containerization/kubernetes/
3. The router is unable to start

Expected behavior
The router should works as expected.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Monterey
• Version 12.5

Additional context
Maybe this is related: notify-rs/notify#282

Additional question
Is there a way to manually reload the supergraph schema without restart?

[garypen]

I'm going to rename the issue, because the problem is caused by the filesystem your are running in k3d. Reload works fine on OS X on bare metal or docker.

[garypen]

I've verified this. Not sure what the fix is right now.

[garypen]

workaround: don't specify --hot-reload, use APOLLO_GRAPH_REF and APOLLO_KEY to download your supergraph from studio.

[tcarrio]

I have confirmed this issue is also impacting me on an M1 Macbook using Docker Desktop.

[tcarrio]

Using the command:

docker run --rm -it \
    -p 8085:8085 \
    -v $(pwd)/schema.graphql:/dist/config/schema.graphql \
    -v $(pwd)/router.yaml:/dist/config/router.yaml \
    api-router

If I then update my Docker image to include the --hot-reload flag in the CMD I get the following error:

2022-08-26T17:40:31.857293Z ERROR apollo_router::executable: panicked at 'Failed to initialise file watching.: Notify(Io(Os { code: 9, kind: Uncategorized, message: "Bad file descriptor" }))', apollo-router/src/files.rs:22:14

[tcarrio]

Additionally running the macOS binary directly is successful:

2022-08-26T17:44:40.595993Z  INFO apollo_router::axum_http_server_factory: GraphQL endpoint exposed at http://0.0.0.0:8085/api/graphql 🚀

[kmcrawford]

This looks to be a known problem with the hotwatch library being used, a wrapper for the notify library. All recommendations say to switch to PollWatcher. Doing this switch might also fix issue #1695 for watching files it does not own.

I think this is related but happy to open a new issue. On version 1.3.0 I'm unable to run the following command. APOLLO_ROUTER_HOT_RELOAD=true causes it to panic and APOLLO_ROUTER_HOT_RELOAD=false will allow it to run.

docker run -p 4000:4000 \
  --env APOLLO_GRAPH_REF="<your graph>" \
  --env APOLLO_KEY="<your key>" \
  --env APOLLO_ROUTER_HOT_RELOAD=true \
  --mount "type=bind,source=</PATH/TO>/router.yaml,target=/dist/config/router.yaml" \
  --rm \
