Description
I'm using relay-compiler@2.0.0 without watch mode, and while initially everything worked fine with the correct query map being generated, after updating one of the relay fragment queries, the compiler simply produces an empty object. It looks like I have to completely delete the map file, then it will be recreated correctly on the next run of relay-compiler.
My compile command looks as follows:
relay-compiler --watchman false --src ./frontend --schema ./schema/schema.graphql --persist-output ./schema/persistedQueries.json --exclude ./src/relay-utils.js
This issue looks similar to #2625, however in my case, I explicitly am not operating in watch mode and would expect the file to get recreated correctly.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with relay-compiler@2.0.0 using the shown command, schema/schema.graphql, frontend, and schema/persistedQueries.json. Update a Relay fragment and rerun the compiler without watch mode; done means the persisted query map is regenerated with the expected entries instead of becoming an empty object, without deleting the existing map first.
