Unregister fails: is still running a job

[DavidGOrtega]

Runner fails unregistering because the job is still running.
The two plausible solutions might be:

• wait until job is done
• cancel the workflow prior to unregister

👎 canceling the workflow prior to unregistering.
users could have other jobs running in that workflow that arent on that runner.

Have you or how can you reproduce this failure mode?

What if you just kill the self-hosted runner process prior to unregistering the runner?

[dacbd]

Is this for a spot termination?

1. working on a job
2. spot terminate signal received.
3. tries to unregister as a part of the shutdown, but the job is still running?

I agree; terminate the runner process before unregistering the runner. you may need a grace period for github to know, but I think that even if that fails it shouldn't have any real impact on anything?

Also, a non-issue if you use --single for spot instances.

Closed with the #1255 saga, unless proven otherwise
