Bash.exe processes not killed on windows runner
Summary
- Windows Runner
- Executor is set to Shell
- Shell = bash.exe
Processes scripted in this bash.exe are not killed when a job is terminated
Steps to reproduce
- With the above configuration, set a ci job to create sub-processes of the bash.exe
- Stop/terminate the job (rails UI)
- Job is halted, but bash.exe processes on runner continue to execute
.gitlab-ci.yml
Add the job definition that is failing here
Actual behavior
Processes continue running after the job is stopped
Expected behavior
Processes are killed/terminated when the runner job is stopped
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
job log
Add the job log

Possible fixes
Possible workaround, if coreutils is available on Windows, use timeout
