What steps will reproduce the bug?

  1. The test file
// test.mjs
import
  1. Run
node --test --watch
  1. Any change
touch test.mjs

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

What: Don't hang.
Why: Because it should watch.

What do you see instead?

Hangs after the summary until Ctrl+C and prints one last summary after that.
So for the minimal example given before, that's one error message and two summaries in total.

The error is similar to this:

SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input

Additional information

Idea: --test and --watch should have what --check does as an internal per file and change prerequisite.
