Subject: [ruby-changes:46748] normal:r58863 (trunk): rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec: avoid lingering "ruby -e sleep" process
normal 2017-05-24 09:34:12 +0900 (Wed, 24 May 2017) New Revision: 58863 https://svn.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi?view=revision&revision=58863 Log: rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec: avoid lingering "ruby -e sleep" process The ruby_cmd helper blindly escapes code blocks passed to it, causing "sleep" to be quoted in the command-line. This quoting results in IO.popen using a subshell (/bin/sh) to run the given string command instead of invoking the Ruby executable directly. Thus, IO.popen would only see the PID of the subshell via IO#pid, and merely sending SIGKILL to the subshell would not result in the child ("ruby -e sleep") being killed. This problem with lingering ruby processes was easier to reproduce on slow or heavily-loaded systems using low-scheduling priority (e.g. "chrt -i 0 make test-rubyspec") Modified files: trunk/spec/rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec.rb Index: spec/rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec.rb =================================================================== --- spec/rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec.rb (revision 58862) +++ spec/rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec.rb (revision 58863) @@ -74,8 +74,12 @@ describe "IO.popen" do https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/spec/rubyspec/core/io/popen_spec.rb#L74 end it "does not throw an exception if child exited and has been waited for" do - @io = IO.popen(ruby_cmd('sleep')) - Process.kill "KILL", @io.pid + # Avoid the /bin/sh subshell using :options and :args to sleep. + # We don't want to kill only the subshell and leave "ruby -e sleep" + # running indefinitely + @io = IO.popen(ruby_cmd(nil, :options => '-e', :args => 'sleep')) + pid = @io.pid + Process.kill "KILL", pid @io.close platform_is_not :windows do $?.signaled?.should == true -- ML: ruby-changes@q...
