App's processes should exit when you change dir out of the Rails project about spring HOT 8 CLOSED

Is there a problem when the process lives on when you cd into another directory?

from spring.

It can live there forever, until I restart my computer, eating my
resources. And what if i work in several different rails projects? I
wouldn't like that.

I think it's good that spring can be picked up very easily without knowing how it works. The problem it tries to solve is very complex though and there will be situations where you need to know what actually happens. I think the situation you describe could be one of them...

lets wait what @jonleighton thinks.

I think some sort of configuration of how much time the app's processes can live when I cd out of my app's folder can solve it. But it's just an idea.

I can't immediately think of a way for us to detect when you cd out of the app's directory, so I think this would be hard to implement.

If you like, you can call spring stop to stop the processes.

You can also close your terminal and they will die automatically - no need to restart your machine.

So I am not really persuaded that we need this.

If there's a spring stop command, it's fine. But the README doesn't talk about it. It only makes clear that the processes will stop when the terminal is closed.

Right, yeah that's missing from the docs. Care to write a patch? :)

I'll do it! :D
