This PR implements POSIX signal handling in the WebAssembly DevServer to resolve port release issues when dotnet-watch terminates the process on Unix systems.
Problem
Recent changes in the .NET runtime caused failures in dotnet-watch on Unix-based systems. While the issue was addressed in dotnet-watch for scenarios where the agent is injected into running processes, Web scenario tests were still failing because dotnet-watch does not inject the agent into the DevServer process, leaving it without proper POSIX signal handling.
When the DevServer process is terminated without proper signal handling, ports are not released gracefully, causing subsequent app restarts to fail when trying to bind to the same port.
Solution
This PR adds a
DevServerLifetime
class that mirrors the existingWebHostLifetime
functionality to handle POSIX signals properly:The implementation:
IHostApplicationLifetime.StopApplication()
context.Cancel = true
IDisposable
Changes Made
src/Components/WebAssembly/DevServer/src/Program.cs
to add signal handlingDevServerLifetime
class that implements the same pattern asWebHostLifetime
OperatingSystem.IsLinux()
/OperatingSystem.IsMacOS()
Testing
This is a surgical fix that addresses the core issue without modifying the existing hosting infrastructure.
Fixes #62528.
