I was digging into the usage of
process.exit()to close the worker and found that it only works inside nodejs. However, the WebWorker spec provides requires aself.close()in a Worker's global scope (docs at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope/close)So I upstreamed a fix to the web-worker dependency at developit/web-worker#21 and now we can use a cross-platform
self.close()to terminate the workers!
