Problems with process handling?

[hasufell]

Subject of the issue

HLS doesn't seem to shut down all processes. After a while of using it in gvim I seem to have multiple HLS processes. This happens very frequently (although only one editor is opened and the by default no server is started). When I tell my client to shut down the server, only one of those processes will exit and haskell-language-server-wrapper will always remain active.

This happens with multiple clients:

• coc.nvim
• vim-lsp
• LanguageClient-neovim

To me, it's not clear what the issue is:

1. if HLS is not supposed to spawn multiple processes

• why does this happen across many clients? Does the server confuse them into thinking it's exited and needs to be respawned?

2. if HLS is supposed to spawn multiple processes

• then it seems the server doesn't correctly process the exit message

3. it could still be all 3 clients are buggy?

Your environment

haskell-language-server version: 0.5.1.0 (GHC: 8.10.1) (PATH: /mnt/sdd2/.ghcup/bin/haskell-language-server-wrapper-0.5.1) (GIT hash: e3fe0e7546aa91e44cc56cfe8ec078a026cf533a)
Tool versions found on the $PATH
cabal:		3.4.0.0
stack:		2.3.3
ghc:		8.8.4

• LangugeClient-neovim, vim-lsp, coc.nvim
• happens on any project, e.g. https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-wallet or https://gitlab.haskell.org/haskell/ghcup-hs
• hie.yaml generated by gen-hie

Steps to reproduce

Use hls for a while and observe processes, then try to issue an exit message via the client.

Expected behaviour

All processes exit.

Actual behaviour

Only one process exits.

Include debug information

I currently don't have more isolated debug info. I'll try next time it happens.

Are you able to reproduce this in coc.nvim using my port of the vscode plugin?

It does have some session management functionality (pretty much the only thing it does actually).

I've been using this for a while and have not noticed this (although I haven't looked for it)

I haven't tried. I try to stay away from coc.

Just now I tried to enable hls on ghcup codebase and this is what I got:

I had to kill everything, because my editor was becoming unresponsive.

With hls-1.0.0 ghc-8.10.4 on ghcup codebase (which is fairly small). This was maybe after an hour of editing.

How is the status of it now?

Closing as it's old and hasn't had new reproductions.
