Does not properly kill the executable on rebuild in Windows

[cameracker]

On windows when realize detects that a file has been modified, it will correctly trigger a rebuild, but it is not guaranteed to kill the executable prior to the rebuild. If the executable has bound to network sockets, then this results in an error when the tool auto rebuilds:

Is there a work around available for this?

The configuration for my run command is nothing really special, it looks like

schema:
- name: ...
  path: .
  commands:
    build:
      status: true
      dir: cmd/exec
    run:
      status: true
      dir: cmd/exec

Is there an additional option i need to put here for like a prerun that will kill the process?

Could it be related to this? golang/go#22381

Hi Cameron, probably is related to golang/go#22381 but i'll make some test to confirm that

Thanks for the follow up @asoseil :)

We worked around it by introducing a before command that does:

scripts:
- type: before
  command: taskkill /im [executable].exe /F

But we're looking forward to getting rid of the hook hahah
