"There are still jobs active" on exit

[TeddyDD]

Sometimes when closing terminal with CTRL-D there is error message

There are still jobs active:

A second attempt to exit will terminate them.
Use 'disown PID' to remove jobs from the list without terminating them.

Pressing CTRL-D again allows to close the terminal.

It's quite rare and I can't reproduce it on demand.

We could try using disown to forget about background jobs as suggested by the warning. I used to have it like that, but then some terminals (notably Terminal on macOS) won't quit when you close the tab, which I found more annoying.

Let me see what I can do. 👌

[jorgebucaran]

I don't see this message in either iTerm or Alacritty. I see it only when I try to exit macOS Terminal and Hydro is fetching the git status in the background. Best I can suggest is to disable the prompt when closing the terminal or setting $hydro_fetch back to false (false is the default).

I can reproduce this in Alacritty 0.7.2–try hitting enter, then ctrl-D immediately afterwards

[jorgebucaran]

Can you do disable the prompt on Alacritty like I did on macOS Terminal?

[tpict]

I'm not sure I understand–Alacritty closes the window by default if the shell exits, but in this case the shell doesn't exit because of the There are still jobs active error.

[jorgebucaran]

If you try Hydro on macOS Terminal with the prompt disabled as suggested above, you can see what I mean. If Alacritty can't do something like that, then just set $hydro_fetch back to false?

[tpict]

I see the same problem in the macOS terminal with the suggested setting and $hydro_fetch unchanged from default:

hydro.mov

This shows the enter, ctrl-D sequence showing the "still jobs active" warning, and then pressing ctrl-D again to close the shell (and terminal window).

[jorgebucaran]

Okay, I think this setting only makes sense when you close the terminal manually. For Ctrl+D there's nothing we can do as far as I can tell.

I'd love to fix this, but I have no idea how.
