Overview
Jest in watch mode consumes a lot of file watcher resources. It's watching many
node_modules
files it doesn't need to watch. On Linux, even after adding inotify resources,yarn jest --watch
(or evenyarn jest --watch protocol-designer/src
) takes a few minutes to start and sometimes times out a few times unless I kill flow or something and try again.Related issue: jestjs/jest#3254
Changelog
Update Jest config to exclude any
/node_modules/
paths from the file watchReview requests
Risk assessment
low to medium, messing with jest config
