AutoIt doesn't quit on Exit

[rbhkamal]

Run( "cmd.exe" )
 ConsoleWrite( "Now should exit!" )
 Exit

The following code will not exit until the child process cmd.exe exits... was this always the case? If yes, I'd like to know why (to educate my self).

How can I avoid this?

Thanks!

darn!

It looks like AutoIt is not forking the child process properly

Same here v3.3.6.1

EDIT: It does however exit when the script is compiled

It isn't a Autoit3 issue because you will see in the Taskmanager that AutoIt3.exe is finishes fine.

Add this to your SciTEuser.properties and try again:

command.go.$(au3)="$(autoit3dir)\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "$(FilePath)" $(1) $(2) $(3) $(4)

You will see it exits fine.

I checked AutoIt3Wrapper and it looks like SciTE has some issues with the STDOUT/STDERR and reading the buffers doesn't error out.

I made a workaround in the current Beta version of Autoit3Wrapper to test for Autoit3.exe finishing and no STDxxx being read from the buffers.

Try to see if that fixes it for you.
