Command.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd() hangs every time

    Process.GetProcessesByName("adb").ToList().ForEach(x => x.Kill());
    var arguments = new List<string> { "connect", "127.0.0.1:21503" };
    var command = Command.Run("adb.exe", arguments,
        options => options.Timeout(TimeSpan.FromMinitues(1)));
    var output = command.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
    var error = command.StandardError.ReadToEnd();

adb.exe is is Android Debug Bridge

1. the code snippet hangs every time with adb.exe version 1.0.31
2. options.Timeout does not work, the underline process still running after 1 minute
3. the code snippet works well with adb.exe version 1.0.39

Sorry, I should’ve mentioned that it had nothing to do with the code above. Was just commenting about a separate problem that I had. Can’t get to the machine now, but I was working on a local installment trying to call out to a GET API of a vendor. I will post the code if you’re interested later. Thanks!

@compucorss I’m not sure I follow your scenario. Was the HttpRequest without the proxy setting happening in the external process? What was the connection to StandardOut? In general, ReadToEnd() cannot return until the external process either closes StandardOut or, more likely, exits. Therefore anything that would cause the external process to hang (e. g. an infinite loop, deadlock, etc) will cause ReadToEnd() to hang.
