Memory leak: service.js process is running after node heap out of memory crash

[vlamitin]

Current behavior

Every time node falls with Heap out of memory, the <project>/node_modules/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin/lib/service.js is still running, causing memory leak. The more crashes: the more service.js processes causing leak

Expected behavior

Proper shutdown of all running services

Steps to reproduce the issue

• run node --max-old-space-size=256 ./node_modules/.bin/webpack-dev-server on any mid-size webpack+typescript+react project
• wait node Heap out of memory crash
• ps aux | grep fork-ts-checker

@vlamitin
Please try fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin@alpha - I've published a new version which should resolve this issue 🚀
I will close this issue to clean-up the backlog. If this release didn't solve the issue, we can re-open this :)

Was the alpha released to the 4.x branch? It seems to not exist anymore, and I am getting out of memory errors using 4.1.6. I'm unable to upgrade to version 5 for now, because I am stuck on Node 8.

Unfortunately, the alpha was released on the 5.x branch
