[jira] [Closed] (COUCHDB-1492) restart restarts without actually sending a response

["Paul Joseph Davis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1492?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Paul Joseph Davis closed COUCHDB-1492.
--------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Unfortunately this isn't possible. Restart uses init:restart() internally which forcibly resets the VM. To even attempt this we'd have to engineer a whole thing that copies file descriptors between processes or something which doesn't sound like something you can do on Windows (and even on Unix its not very common).

On the other hand, I would like to delete the whole _restart thing and fix our testing strategy to not use it at all (which is possible now that the CLI tests are officially part of RM).

> posting to _restart always closes the connection without sending a response
> something that waits for finishing the restart and sends a success would be appreciated
