Parallel tasks can't be killed in Webstorm Terminal on Windows

[coryhouse]

This is admittedly Webstorm specific, but as FYI:

This is the same issue that I reported in Issue 32, but it occurs in Webstorm's terminal on Windows. Hitting Ctrl+C produces the prompt for "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?", but answering "Y" doesn't actually get you back a usable command line. It appears to be using the native Window command line behind the scenes since this is shown when I open the Webstorm terminal:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

The result of hitting Ctrl+C: ^C^C^CTerminate batch job (Y/N)? Terminate batch job (Y/N)? ^CTerminate batch job (Y/N)? ^^CCTerminate batch job (Y/N)? Terminate batch job (Y/N)? Terminate batch job (Y/N)? ^CTerminate batch job (Y/N)? Terminate batch job (Y/N)? Y

It becomes frozen after answering Y.

Thank you for this issue.

Mmm, I don't have WebStorm...

[coryhouse]

There's a free trial at the link I provided in the issue. :+1:

[mysticatea]

Sorry, I had used the trial version before, so I cannot use it now.

Oh, thank you for the information!

[mysticatea]

Thank you. I got the WebStorm Free Open Source License for npm-run-all.

1. I tried the npm start of react-slingshot in WebStorm's terminal. Fortunately (or unfortunately), it worked fine.
2. I checked out a commit of March. But it failed to compile some native modules... :cry:

@coryhouse Could you reproduce this issue currently?

[coryhouse]

It's still occurring for me on Windows 7. What version of Windows are you on?

[mysticatea]

I'm using:

• Windows 7 (Japanese)
• WebStorm 2016.1.3
• Node 6.2.0
• npm 3.9.0

[coryhouse]

Odd, I'm running the exact same setup. I'm stumped why we're seeing different results.

[mysticatea]

Weird 😓. I will continue to investigate...

The same behavior with FAR Manager and Windows 10:

1. npm-run-all -l -p dev:*
2. CTRL+C and say Y Result: task was killed...
3. F10 to exit FAR Manager Result: failed, FAR not closed...

Broken FAR process:

Normal FAR process:

The same behavior with cmd and Windows 10:

• npm-run-all -l -p dev:*
• CTRL+C and say Y

Result: task was killed...

• type exit to close cmd window

Result: failed, window not closed...

I have quite similar issue. I use npm-run-all to run Angular (ng serve), Laravel (php artisan server) and pug-cli simultaneously like this (a package.json fragment):

"scripts": {
…
    "serve": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json",
    "sleep": "sleep 3",
    "serve:postponed": "run-s -s sleep serve",
    "start": "run-p pugw laravel serve:postponed",
    "laravel": "php ../lar/artisan serve",
    "pug": "pug src",
    "pugw": "pug src -P -w"
  },

If I hit Ctrl+Cas many times I want – nothing happens. If I hitCtrl+C and Enter, I finally can see the bash prompt. However, all stuff (php.exe and ng, pug, etc.) continue work in background, and bash freezes

PS. Win 10

We have the same issue on MacOS. Even though we're pressing Ctrl+C like mad, the processes continue to run. Restarting will pile up more and more of those processes bringing everything slowly to a halt.
