How to fix Google-cloud-sdk 156.0.0 “There are too many files in your application for changes in all of them to be monitored.”?

Question

I just installed Go 1.6.4 and google-cloud-sdk 1.56.0.0 on osX.

When I attempt to run the local dev_server I get the following warning.

The corresponding error occurs when mtime_file_watcher.py tries to monitor all files under "GOPATH" but has too many files, so use the skip_files option of app.yaml to check vendor, node_modules and arbitrary number of files Can be avoided by excluding many projects to be monitored.

skip_files:
- .*node_modules
- .*vendor
- .*project-name-having-too-many-files
