Watch option is ignored when creating JestHasteMap

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

What is the current behavior? watch is hardcoded to true when creating JestHasteMap: https://github.com/facebook/metro/blob/master/packages/metro/src/node-haste/DependencyGraph.js#L96

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test. https://github.com/hfter789/metro jest packages/metro/src/integration_tests/__tests__/buildGraph-test.js

What is the expected behavior? JestHasteMap should receive the watch value coming from metro config.

We were hoping to use the watch: false option in our React Native release build to prevent having to set fs.inotify.max_user_watches on our CI server.

Sorry for the possible noise on a ticket that might be unrelated but, wanted to add that similar to @FLGMwt , our project needs to have the bundle command not watch for files on CI (JitPack in our case). Would appreciate any pointers on how to suppress file watching in react-native bundle if possible. 😬 🙇

Edit: for the project I’m currently working on, I’ve put a ugly nasty solution in place: to replace the node-haste/DependencyGraph.js file with one that has the watch: flag as false. My hands feel very dirty now, but that unblocks our CI pipeline for the time being.

before update release, I have to use the patch in this way:

sed -i -e 's/watch: true/watch: false/' node_modules/metro/src/node-haste/DependencyGraph.js

replace the watch: true with watch: false while building on the CI pipelines.
