Nodemon is not able to gracefully restart applications in Windows environment

Possibly related to https://github.com/remy/nodemon/issues/1567

• nodemon -v: 6.13.4

• node -v: v12.16.1

• Operating system/terminal environment:

  • Windows Command Prompt, Windows Git Bash, Windows Terminal WSL

       Edition: Windows 10 Pro 
       Version: 1909
  Installed on: 5/22/2019
      OS Build: 18363.836 
  

• Command ran: nodemon --signal SIGHUP index.js

Expected behaviour

On Windows, Nodemon should wait for the process to complete if it handles a shut down signal.

Notice the express server closed message

WSL:

Actual behaviour

The application is killed and restarted right away. This behavior does not exist in Linux, Mac and WSL.

CMD:

Steps to reproduce

I have created a sample Express app here: https://github.com/chriswoodle/nodemon-1567 that shuts down the express server once the application is signaled to stop ['SIGTERM', 'SIGINT', 'SIGHUP']

git clone https://github.com/chriswoodle/nodemon-1567.git
cd nodemon-1567
npm install
npm start
touch index.js

Let me know if I can provide any more information or test changes, thanks.

If I get time, I’ll look into this, but I wanted to stop and say:

Thank you for filing an issue with a good level of detail and a good example of pared down code to replicate the issue. I’ll be pointing people to this issue as an example of what makes the world of difference in debugging. 🙏
