Dear avocado users and developers, I have made a testcase in which is executed nc process in run function : (simplified version):
from avocado.utils import process def run(vt_test, test_params, env): cmd = "nc -l %s" % test_params['some_port'] nc_process = process.SubProcess(cmd) return after testcase is executed, nc does not terminate and is still present. To avoid this I have to kill the process e.g. by process.safe_kill(nc_process_pid, signal.SIGKILL) It is pretty awkward to close the process manually particularly in case of complex testcase code Shouldn't be the subprocess killed automatically after test exits? After all its called *Sub*Process regards, Radek Duda
