Function with infinite loop keeps on spewing logs even after hot reloading a change of code that deletes it

[ShaiBer]

I tried this:

Wrote this code:

bring cloud;
bring util;

new cloud.Function(inflight () => {
  while true {
    log("Weeeeee");
    util.sleep(1s);
  }
});

Then invoked the function and saw the logs starting to appear.

Then I deleted the function, so my code is this:

bring cloud;
bring util;

This happened:

After the console hot reloaded the new code, the Function was removed from the map view, but the "Weeee" logs kept appearing every second

I expected this:

The logs to stop coming in

Is there a workaround?

Anything else?

I was doing this test in the playground.

Also, if I changed the sleep time to 1ms the playground crashed after a short time..

I think this belongs to the simulator.

This bug has since been fixed (the inflight code now runs in an external process which can be killed - see https://github.com/winglang/wing/pull/5554)
