Speed up createNext test suite isolation (#64909)
Before: 25.71s
After: 11.05s (-57%)
Currently the system for isolation looks like this:
- Copy `packages` folder to an isolated directory
- Run `pnpm pack` for all folders in `packages`
- Collect the pack files, add them as `dependencies` in package.json of
the isolated application
- Run `pnpm install`
Because the `next-swc` (Turbopack + SWC, yes we still need to rename the
package) binary file is quite large in development (900MB+) it means we
have to copy, then zip (pnpm pack), then unzip (pnpm install) that
binary, which takes about 3+ seconds in each step.
The change in this PR is to skip the copy/zip/unzip completely by
providing the folder path for the binary directly to Next.js, as it's a
binary we don't need the special isolation for this, it's already
standalone so running it directly allows us to skip 14,6 seconds of work
that is required for each isolated test in development.
This will likely have little effect on CI times as we already do some
tricks like only running the packing at the start of the CI process.
Only thing that could be better and is probably worth doing is adopting
this change for the time it saves for unzipping, that's almost 4 seconds
per test still.
