Tons of stale Yangster Helper processes run after quitting the application

kittaakos commented 6 years ago

Although it does not affect the CPU, it would be nice to terminate the process:

This can be reproduced easily. Start the Yangster application. One can see that there is the main process with four helpers:

After terminating the Yangster application with Cmd+Q on OS X. There are two stale processes:

As of my first guess, it could be related to the issue we load the main.js two times.

The sample of one of the processes. The first one does not have a parent process. Parent process:

kittaakos commented 6 years ago

Just to make sure, I try to reproduce it on another Mac too.

kittaakos commented 6 years ago

Confirmed. Same issue on 10.13.1, MacOS High Sierra.

I am still just blindly guessing though, I have compared the processes that load the main.js in the Electron version.

It seems the main.js processes are the stale ones:

That seems to be correct; the outstanding question is instead the following: why does the process forked from the electron-main not terminate on application shutdown.

kittaakos commented 6 years ago

Got it working locally by modifying the generated code. I need to open a follow-up in Theia.

hexa00 commented 6 years ago

Just curious does the fix work on windows too ? (not sure what the fix is ? like to PR ? )

Would it also fix the issue when the backend doesn't stop on ctrl-c on windows?

kittaakos commented 6 years ago

I have not had the chance to try it yet. I will update this thread once I have checked the behavior.

kittaakos commented 6 years ago

For the sake of simplicity, I will modify the generated code after the generation phase so that electron-builder can pick up and we can try it out in the Yangster application.

No.

Tons of stale Yangster Helper processes run after quitting the application #17
