Bug: MacOS "usernoted" process eats all RAM

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Bug

What is the current behavior? When Jest is ran on watch mode and notify option is turned on and there are failing tests, MacOS’ usernoted process consumes too much RAM.

What is the expected behavior? There should not be any memory leaks.

Please provide your exact Jest configuration and mention your Jest, node, yarn/npm version and operating system.

I saw that there has been the memory issue on terminal-notifier but since this is a different process I am posting it as a separate issue.

Still an issue in 2020…

I’m getting this on Mojave 10.14

usernotesd is casually using 58GB (!!!) of RAM on my 16GB MacBook Pro. Pore over this screenshot! Aren’t the numbers beautiful?
