DISABLE_SPRING=1 doesn't seem to work

[RobinClowers]

We don't want to use spring at all on our CI server, so we export the var DISABLE_SPRING=1, which is supposed to stop spring from running. However, we are seeing this in the logs: FATAL: Listen error: unable to monitor directories for changes., which is also failing our builds. How can we globally disable spring?

[RobinClowers]

We are using https://github.com/jonleighton/spring-watcher-listen to avoid polling, but again, spring should be disabled.

I filed an issue over there as well: rails/spring-watcher-listen#18.

Still true :(

This option doesn't seem to disable spring if you're running spring rspec for instance.

I haven't tried with value "1" but that settings helped me to make running my app on github actions

   DISABLE_SPRING: true
   DISABLE_SPRING_WATCHER_LISTEN: true
