I was trying to get an example to work with the new ProcessHandle API. My goal was to wait on another process (Spotify) to terminate before printing something to the console:
ProcessHandle handle = ProcessHandle.allProcesses() .filter(h -> h.info().commandLine().map(cmd -> cmd.contains("Spotify")).orElse(false)) .findFirst() .orElseThrow(() -> new IllegalArgumentException("No matching handle found")); System.out.println(handle.info()); ProcessHandle completed = handle.onExit().get(); System.out.println(completed.isAlive()); However this code doesn't wait on `handle` to be terminated, as the JavaDoc of onExit led me to believe: "Calling onExit().get() waits for the process to terminate and returns the ProcessHandle.". What I expected: the get() call blocks until I terminate the Spotify process. Instead, it runs to completion and prints true for the `isAlive` call in the end. Am I missing something?
