This seems to be a reasonable way of determining whether a process with a certain pid exists.

The child process puts something on the socket to indicate that it's ready. Rather than simply wait forever as before (i.e. child.gets) we do the same, but check the process is still alive at 1 second intervals while doing so.

Fix for issue detailed in #396 (comment)
If we have started a spring server, but the project root is deleted, the server can't successfully boot a child process. This is not recoverable. Even when the project is recreated, clients can also no longer communicate with the server because the socket path is derived from the project root (
Dir.pwd) which for the server process no longer exists.The proposed fix is to detect whenever a child cannot be started within a specific time frame - for whatever reason - rather than waiting indefinitely for the child to communicate with the
ApplicationManagerinstance. This raises an error. If any error occurs when attempting to create a child process, we just abort - which shuts down the server gracefully.This might not be a terribly common scenario, but I guess it can happen in real life - especially when people create throwaway projects to test stuff, or check out open source projects temporarily.
