PIT should KILL slave process after timeout

PIT should kill the slave process executing the test(s) against the mutation(s) after some time. If the test is badly designed or the mutation fails to stop a non-deamon thread, PIT hangs forever.

I've got a project that creates a ThreadPoolExecutor and fails to shutdown() that executor after the test finishes. The threads of the executor stay alive and prevent the slaves JVM from terminating. This causes PIT to hang forever waiting for the slave process to die.

It would be better if PIT does not wait forever put applies a timeout and kills the process after the timeout.

I've attached a patch with a system test demonstrating the scenario/issue.

Please note that this issue might be related to issue 12 (or might be a duplicate of issue 12 ).

I've run my test case with the latest pitest version from mercurial repository but test case still fails.

Hi Stefan,

Yes I suspect this is the same issue. Thanks for the report and the test case.
