pidwait()
is a function to wait for a PID to disappear from the listof processes. On Windows change this function to:
reduce the frequency of calling the external command
tasklist
toquery the list of processes, including Windows-native ones, to 0.2s
(from 0.01s).
print a message when the wait exceeds 5 second marks.
give up after 20 seconds of total wait, and print a message.
Also log
taskkill
commands to stdout instead of the log.To potentially avoid hangs seen in CI, and make these spots more
transparent through the log.
