605587 - cfx run cannot kill process if you using Firefox binary and xulrunner app mode

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[/\/\arcio Galli]

How to reproduce: 

Create a simple Jetpack app, and, using cfx pass the -a xulrunner with the -b Path_To_Your_Firefox run your program, if necessary with -p Path_To_Your_Jetpack program. 

Try to Kill the app with CTRL+C

The app may not be killed because cfx was not able to find the process. 

My workaround, local patch, was to add firefox to the list in runner.py, under class XulrunnerAppRunner(mozrunner.Runner)

-    names = ['xulrunner']
+    names = ['xulrunner','firefox']

The Add-on SDK is no longer a Mozilla Labs experiment and has become a big enough project to warrant its own Bugzilla product, so the "Add-on SDK" product has been created for it, and I am moving its bugs to that product.

To filter bugmail related to this change, filter on the word "looptid".
