Sandcastle restart

[krzysztofantczak]

Hi,

Is there any way to forcefully shutdown pool of workers by killing all pending tasks/scripts and start new pool which can be used again (with empty queue)?

I think there is some kind of issue with pool.kill() it seems that not everything is cleaned up properly. I've created a repository to illustrate that issue https://github.com/tradero/sanctum/blob/master/playground/tofix_timeout_issue.js - not sure what exactly is responsible for that behaviour thought.

And here is how i'm using sandcastle https://github.com/tradero/sanctum/blob/master/lib/index.js

@krzysztofantczak in the simple case, it seems as though the pool exists appropriately, e.g.,

  it('should run scripts on non blocking instances', function (finished) {
    var pool = new Pool({numberOfInstances: 2});
    var exited = false;
    // Create blocking script.
    var script = pool.createScript("\
        exports.main = function() {\n\
          while(true);\
        }\n\
      "
    );
    script.run();

    var scriptsExited = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
      var script2 = pool.createScript("\
          exports.main = function() {\n\
            exit(10);\n\
          }\n\
        "
      );
      script2.on('exit', function (err, result) {
        scriptsExited++;
        if (scriptsExited == 10) {
          pool.kill();
          equal(10, result);
          exited = true;
          finished();
        }
      });
      script2.run();
    }
    setTimeout(function () {
      if (!exited) {
        equal(false, true);
      }
    }, 3000);
  });

It would be great to try to simplify your test case a bit, and get some sample code around the pool failing to exit.
