Summary

Currently, jest-haste-map checks for watchman existence at import time (top level) with a blocking execSync call. This has a few downsides

  • Blocking at the top level holds up main thread (by 20-200ms) at a time when there's CPU work to be done.
  • execSync spawns a shell, which isn't necessary here - execFile is more efficient.
  • The exec happens totally unnecessarily even if the consumer specifies useWatchman: false.

This PR extracts this to an async utility function, executed lazily and memoized by the core class.

Test plan

  • New unit tests cover lib/isWatchmanInstalled.ts and lazy execution

  • Behaviour of execFile when watchman is installed:

$ node -e "util.promisify(child_process.execFile)('watchman', ['--version']).then(console.log)"
{ stdout: '20220411\n', stderr: '' }
  • And when we try to exec something unavailable:
$ node -e "util.promisify(child_process.execFile)('nonexistentthing', ['--version']).then(console.log)"

node:internal/errors:464
   ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
