Unexpected behaviour of Process.waitpid...? #3117

test.rb:

pid = Process.spawn("sleep 3")
puts Process.waitpid(pid, Process::WNOHANG).nil?
sleep 6
puts Process.waitpid(pid, Process::WNOHANG).nil?

Executing the script above with Ruby v2.2.2 produces the following output:

true
false

And executing it with JRuby v1.7.20 produces this:

false
Errno::ECHILD: No child processes - No child processes
  waitpid at org/jruby/RubyProcess.java:536
  waitpid at org/jruby/RubyProcess.java:521
   (root) at test.rb:4

It seems Process.waitpid returns zero instead of nil while the child process hasn't exited. Is this different behaviour known/expected?

If it is, what is the best way to check that a child process is still running and has not exited yet? Simply Process.waitpid(pid, Process::WNOHANG) == 0?

Tried this on 9k also and it is a little better:

false
false

but still broken. So both branches have issue(s).

I would guess that WNOHANG is not doing anything. Investigating.

Nevermind, WNOHANG seems ok. We just weren't returning nil for a zero result from waitpid. Fixing.

Fixed for 9k.rc2 and 1.7.22.

I think you missed fixing Process.waitpid2:

Process.waitpid2(Process.spawn("/bin/sleep", "5"), Process::WNOHANG)
=> [0, #<Process::Status: pid 0 signal 36>]
