Terminal is not cleaned up when I quit the fastAPI server with ctrl+c

Like above picture, I finished the server with ctrl+c. However, the terminal I was using is still freezed, so I need to open another fresh terminal if I want to start the server again.

Temporarily, I find the fastAPI process with ps -ef | grep fast and kill that process with kill -9 [pid]. This ends up the server and leave terminal cleanly, but too burdensome.

Is there anyway to use ctrl+c more smartly or any other practical alternatives? Thx

Thanks for the help here @raphaelauv! 🍪

And thanks for coming back to close the issue @jsrimr ☕

…there’s a chance that you are on Windows and you had selected text in the terminal. In Windows, that freezes everything until you hit enter, that copies that text and lets things continue working… because Windows 😅

Sorry for the long delay! 🙈 I wanted to personally address each issue/PR and they piled up through time, but now I’m checking each one in order.

Sorry for the late reply. I tried your code and it terminated gracefully. It doesn’t seem a matter of terminal configuration. I will research more and come next time.
