I'm re-introducing this change that previously landed in #57936 but got reverted in #58190.
I believe that one of the main reasons for reverting the PR was the fact that when it landed it didn't include the changes that I however later introduced in #58183 (that also got reverted as part of #58190) (making me wonder if the revert was actually completely necessary after all 🤔).
Another reason for the revert was that I was adding the tests to the
test/sequential/test-watch-mode.mjs
file (which is marked as flaky) instead of creating a new test file.I am not sure if there were other issues associated to the original PR, however I am opening this PR that reintroduces the changes and also addresses the two above issues (if there were other issues I'd imagine we'll see them when running ci against this PR).
