Reopen #173: SIGTERM is suppressed

[osher]

I installed 0.8.7 with my devops yesterday EOD.
This morning I came to work and encountered the SIGRETM problem.
#173 SIGTERM does not propagate well between layers

[osher]

Let me try to propose a stripped-down reproduction scenario (also see comment bellow)
The scenario reproduces successfully with nodist@0.8.7, it does not reproduce when forcing in the env var PATH a concrete node version.

having

1. nodist@0.8.7 installed
2. the files described bellow are created in current-work-dir. Mind the folder-structure.
3. make sure you can run mocha either by npm install mocha or npm install mocha -g at your choice.

scenario

1. run mocha first time
   • expect the tests to pass so what. please carry on
2. run mocha second time

Expected

• the tests should to pass for the second time as well

Found

• before-all hook failure: the server won't launch because the port is occupied by the server launched in the first pass.

c:\ws\nodejs\sandbox>mocha

  my cool server
service started: server.js
    √ will pass but doesnt really matter

service termination ended OK

  1 passing (360ms)

c:\ws\nodejs\sandbox>mocha

  my cool server
    1) "before all" hook: createSvr

service termination ended OK

  0 passing (565ms)
  1 failing

  1) my cool server "before all" hook: createSvr:

Comments

I experience it a bit differently.
I work on a code generator, so I generate from template a web project where I start by removing the target folder completely (We decided here not to remove the folder in the end of the test because we wish to inspect the generated files).
So I fail in the second pass because I cannot remove the folder where a process keeps an open handle to it, where the process is the tested server launched on the first pass, so I don't even get to generate it and lunch the test on the second pass.
