    This test has been flaking for various different reasons from June: nodejs/reliability#1247
    It appeared in 62 daily reliability reports: https://github.com/nodejs/reliability/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20%22test-runner-watch-mode-kill-signal%22&page=3

    Unless someone is invested in fixing this test soon-ish, I'd suggest we split this test into multiple files first, and mark the one that still flakes as flaky.

    Actually it seems the test is unrelated to test runners, despite the name starts with test-runner, it's just a test for --watch-kill-signal and the actual code being tested is not using test runner.
