Bug #21456
closedIO.close does not work in a rescue IO::TimeoutError block.
Status:
Rejected
Assignee:

Target version:
-
ruby -v:
ruby 3.2.8 (2025-03-26 revision 13f495dc2c) [x86_64-linux]
Description
Invoking the close method on an IO object based on popen will forcefully close the process (not sure what signal it sends, it's undocumented), however when you handle a IO::TimeoutError exception (which you can get when you set .timeout), the close method fails to end the process. It's going to block until the process naturally terminates.
Sample code (linux based) --
execArg = 'echo testwrite; sleep 10'
tofuProcess = IO.popen(execArg, 'r')
puts 'executed tofu process.'
tofuProcess.timeout=5
begin
tofuOut = tofuProcess.read
rescue IO::TimeoutError
puts 'rescue occured'
tofuProcess.close
puts 'process closed'
end

No signal is sent.
Send a signal by yourself if you want to stop the process.
Since your example invokes a grand child process, add pgroup
option and send "-signal" to the process group.
execArg = 'echo testwrite; sleep 10'
tofuProcess = IO.popen(execArg, 'r', pgroup: true) ###
puts 'executed tofu process.'
tofuProcess.timeout=5
begin
tofuOut = tofuProcess.read
rescue IO::TimeoutError
puts 'rescue occured'
Process.kill "-TERM", tofuProcess.pid ###
tofuProcess.close
puts 'process closed'
end
