Doesn't stop the Vite server when restarting or quitting app using Ctrl-R/Ctrl-C

[henriksen]

Overview

Upgraded to Vite 1.9 and removed the old KillPort setting, and the Vite server is no longer stopped when restarting or stopping app using the command line and Ctrl-R or Ctrl-C. Works as expected if restart or stop my app though Visual Studio.

Vite processes

When I start my application using and access it (running the middleware), a cmd window pops up for the Vite server. Two additional processes are started:

node   "C:\dev\app\node_modules\.bin\\..\vite\bin\vite.js"
"C:\Program Files\nodejs\\node.exe"  "C:\Users\Glenn\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" run dev

Using dotnet watch run / dotnet run

If I restart (using dotnet watch and Ctrl-R) or stop my app using Ctrl-C, the cmd window closes, but only the npm-cli.js run dev process exits. The node vite.js process is left running.

Starting and accessing my app again will try to start Vite but it will fail since the old Vite process is still running and it cannot open on the same port as before (I have locked the port in settings). The cmd Window opens and closes almost immediately.

Using Visual Studio

If I run my application from Visual Studio I get different behaviour, depending on how I restart/quit my app.

Both processes exit as they should if I...

• Use the HotReload toolbar button -> Restart application
• Using the Visual Studio stop button
• Just closing the cmd popup console window using the window close button (X) or Alt-F4
• Using the restart toolbar button or Ctrl-Shift F5
• Close the ViteServer cmd window manually

One exception:
Stopping my app using Ctrl-C in the popup console window, I get the same behaviour as above, with the node vite.js process lingering.

Additional info

A little late but I'll add some validations to check if the vite server is already running before start a new process
