Kill a simulation?

[AndreaCrotti]

If I run a long (and possibly buggy) simulation from the repl, I can't really kill it without restarting the repl entirely.

I think ideally sending a cider-interrupt or equivalent should kill the whole thing, which I guess doesn't work out of the box because it's using heavily core.async under the hood right?

You are right. There are few go loops that keep running if you interrupt the function call in repl. This is discussed more here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20485188/gracefully-exit-a-clojure-core-async-go-loop-on-kill

I have used the exit channel mechanism (a.k.a. poison pill) in other projects using core.async. This kind of feature could be added to clj-gatling too. For example there could be a function kill-all-running-simulations which would send message to all exit channels.
