1586468 - ProcessActorList only listens for new processes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Framework, defect)

Description

[Brian Hackett [Laid off!]]

ProcessActorList should notify listeners when content processes are terminated, and not just when new ones are started. It detects new processes by running a script in each new content process that sends a "debug:new-process" message which the list listens to. Maybe something similar could be done for process termination, but it seems simpler to use the observer service or something from C++ to indicate that the set of content processes has changed.
