Electron instances persist after exiting with Ctrl + C

[paanvaannd]

I'm actually not sure if I'm doing this right... I start the app with $ npm start and to stop I exit with Ctrl + C (I'm pretty sure this sends a SIGINT) and while this stops the application and allows me to interact with my terminal again, an Electron application remains in my Dock after each run and Activity Monitor shows that same process along with an associated Electron Helper per spawned process. The only way to exit those processes is to go to Force Quit those processes.

Perhaps using this would be a good way of quitting the process completely if I'm stopping the process properly on my end? I think it would also be necessary to provide users a good way to quit the app natively before release, so maybe a "Quit" button within the Preferences pane?

I can't reproduce the issue. I also exit with Ctrl+C, but this, for me, causes the electron processes to be killed.

Have you given it some time? It's true that the garbage collection in electron takes a bit of time – for me it's a few seconds before all of the processes disappear, but it might depend on your specific setup and how long snwe was running for

I cannot reproduce this issue any longer either... closing!
