killtree in 0.28.2 causes crash

[Kilian]

after updating to 0.28.2 it crashes on startup on ubuntu 23.04 with the following error:

node:internal/errors:496
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

Error: kill ESRCH

@Kilian Sorry I've been very busy lately, I'll spend a weekend trying to figure this out on Ubuntu.

Hey👋 ! @Kilian
Fixed this issue in v0.28.4 (only use try-catch).
I only know that if he pid does not exist during the exec of process.kill(pid), it will result in an Error: kill ESRCH error.
I can't full figure out why the pid exit early, but this not a very important matter.

Unfortunately this now has a different issue, where it crashes because vite:client-inject is no longer running?

This error looks like it comes from the renderer process build, can you make a minimal production repo form me?

Maybe this will work for you.

I have the problem and using process.kill like in the linked comment worked.

What I had when saving a electron file:

build started...
✓ 0 modules transformed.
