it statements dramatically increase test runtime about jest

[jeffmo]

I'm trying to find a way to repro this, but it's pretty tricky since I don't have access to a sizeable coffeescript codebase...

When I set up a very basic scenario it doesn't seem to cause any observable speed issues when I add another it spec: https://gist.github.com/jeffmo/f9db99b6c197327a30a7

Here's 3 runs of the test with 2 specs: https://gist.github.com/jeffmo/37220916b440d20a465a
Here's 3 runs of the test with 1 spec: https://gist.github.com/jeffmo/2e80968193c89a8a9e97

It would be good if we could narrow this down to where the time is spent. Any chance you could either point me somewhere where I might be able to repro this or try digging in to see if you could narrow it down?

I'm getting this issue with my repo here:
https://github.com/feifanzhou/Tunetap-demo/

Test file in /app/assets/javascripts/harness/tests/fan-root-test.coffee

package.json and node_modules in project root

[jeffmo]

Ok, after a little investigation it seems the bulk of the time for each it spec is spent in your beforeEach. And, in there, it seems the majority of the time is spent running require('react/addons)

I'm still digging in to what's taking so much time in there, but the gist of the problem here seems to be that every it() has to re-require('react/addons')

[jeffmo]

I tried moving the require() out into the top-level (so it doesn't have to run each time), but that seems to break stuff (I'm guessing there's some state in the module that needs to be reset between tests somehow)

[jeffmo]

The easiest solution here would be to identify what the shared state is and just find a way to reset it in the beforeEach (rather than re-requiring the whole module).

It seems, however, that if you isolate the react/addons module (even just in raw node...no jest or anything) it takes about 130-150ms just to require() (!?!?) -- so maybe there's something someone can do over on the React side of things to make that module faster

[jeffmo]

Going to go ahead and close this issue out because I'm not sure there's anything to be done from the Jest side of things

(Possibly related to facebook/react#812, but I'm guessing a different issue.)

Hmm alright, thanks for check it out Jeff. Out of curiosity, what do you use to check the runtime of the scripts?
