Description
LSPs may refuse to exit (due to a bug or whatnot) but we need to ensure that CodeEdit can still close when quit. This adds both a timeout when language servers are stopped, and a method to send
SIGKILLto language servers if necessary.This can only cause a delay while quitting CodeEdit. To help with the UX here, I've added some activity notifications that tell the user why we're delaying quitting CodeEdit. Both task termination and language server stopping are displayed while CodeEdit attempts to quit.
Detailed Changes
LanguageClientpackage to use a new method that lets us grab the started language server process.pid_tof the process is stored onLanguageServerfor future use.LSPService.stopServerto not use a throwing task group. For some reason the task group refused to continue even if the language server did close correctly. A non-throwing task group works correctly.LSPService.killAllServersto sendSIGKILLto all language servers if necessary.AppDelegateto send activity notifications when delaying quitting the app.AppDelegateto timeout language server stopping and kill them if necessary.TaskNotificationHandlerto help with sending tasks. Updated docs to match.TaskNotificationHandlerto limit activities to a single workspace. If left out, does not limit the workspace.CEActiveTaskto differentiate between task runs (see screen recording).Related Issues
