[jira] [Commented] (SUREFIRE-1573) PpidChecker inherits and blocks resources from tests while checking if the forked VM is still alive

Dave Cox commented on SUREFIRE-1573:
------------------------------------

[~tibordigana], ProcessHandle.onExit() was apparently introduced in Java 9, but it looks like Surefire Plugin aims to support back to Java 7.

>                 Key: SUREFIRE-1573
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1573
>             Project: Maven Surefire
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.22.0
>         Environment: Windows, our tests create temporary files using native-code (std::fstream) and remove or rename them using boost::filesystem. Java 1.8.
>            Reporter: Marcus Ackermann
>            Priority: Critical
>
> On Windows, the PpidChecker executes wmic through cmd by starting a new process. Java calls {{CreateProcess}} with the flag {{bInheritHandles=TRUE}}.
> When I create a temporary file in a test, it happens that this file can neither be removed nor deleted. The error code is the following (from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/debug/system-error-codes--0-499-)
> {code:java}
> ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION
> 32 (0x20)
> The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.{code}
> I found out that this sharing violation is due to the fact that the process started from PpidChecker also owns the file inherited from the test process.
> This seems to be a side-effect of the new monitoring mechanism for the forked VM introduced in 2.20.1 with SUREFIRE-1302.
