Is it intentional that this provider binary continues to live / run when no pulumi CLI command is in the middle of executing;

pulumi-resource-azure-native.exe

?? I couldn't figure out why I couldn't rename a folder. Process Explorer found that this .exe was running and in the folder in question. I killed the process, and then I was able to rename the folder. Just wondering. Thanks.

No they should get killed. You didn't have a run of

pulumi

that crashed or got killed itself did you? Might be a process tree leak.

No. I've not had any pulumi errors like that, in particular any that would have been in that folder - which I created yesterday.

hmm ok, do let us know if it happens again
