If you're expecting that EventEmitter to have more than ten listeners, then you should use setMaxListeners() to increase the limit.

If you were not expecting so many, then you probably have a listener leak (i.e. you keep adding instead of replacing).

Yes, If I do not pay attention to this error, will it be fatal? – coder fire Aug 31 '17 at 13:05
Does it say "fatal" or "error"? No, it says "warning". – OrangeDog Aug 31 '17 at 13:06
