Lerna v4 leaves orphaned child processes

In multiple packages we have a “start” command that launches webpack-dev-server or ng serve. In the root package.json we have a command that runs all these start commands

"scripts": {
   "start": "lerna run start --stream"
}

In Lerna v3, when that was running, I could kill it with CTRL+C, and then launch it again.

In Lerna v4, when I kill the command with CTRL+C, and subsequently launch it I always now receive EADDRINUSE for the port that the webservers are running on. As a workaround I use npm package kill-port to kill Lerna’s orphaned child process running on that port, before I can run it again.

As a workaround we have downgraded to Lerna 3.22.1 - this is working as expected.

Lerna run has a --no-bail flag which would appear to control the behavior that this is doing, but we do not want the --no-bail behavior but it now seems to be the default and cannot be disabled.

This seems a broken approach to managing child processes and is a breaking change for those upgrading to v4.

Thanks all!

This should hopefully be fixed by @feryardiant change, applied in https://github.com/lerna/lerna/pull/3156
