Summary
Currently our
npm run test:watch
script watches files innode_modules
,dist
, and other build outputs, which doesn't make sense unless you're monkey patching stuff. I've been getting an error due to watching too many files since we transitioned to a monorepo:Ignoring
node_modules
and the build outputs resolved the issue for me (ref: jestjs/jest#8088 (comment)).If anyone still experiences this error, installing watchman is another option (ref: jestjs/jest#3436 (comment)).
Jest uses watchman by default if it is installed.
