Failed to gracefully shutdown application (IIS Hang)

Ask questionsFailed to gracefully shutdown application (IIS Hang)

on application pool recycle (automatic by duration) and under high load i often get the following entry in event log Failed to gracefully shutdown application 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/WEBNAME'.

this was already happen in 2.1 with outproc, but now i've updated to 2.2 with hostingModel="InProcess", but i get a additional eventlog entry:

CoreCLR Version: 4.6.27207.3
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.IOException: The handle is invalid
   at System.ConsolePal.WindowsConsoleStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count)
   at System.IO.StreamWriter.Flush(Boolean flushStream, Boolean flushEncoder)
   at System.IO.StreamWriter.WriteLine(String value)
   at System.IO.SyncTextWriter.WriteLine(String value)

   at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.AppContext.OnProcessExit(Object sender, EventArgs e)

I use overlapped recycling, the new process is already stated, but i need to recycle manualy else the IIS is not processing requests anymore, they just timed out.

Setup:

Windows Server 2012 R2
IIS 8.5
.net core runtime and hosting bundle 2.2.1
overlapped recycling enabled
web: preload enabled = true
application pool: start mode always running
32bit application

any idea why this exception happens? the related code should be this https://github.com/aspnet/Hosting/blob/master/src/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting/WebHostExtensions.cs#L142 (this Console.Log)

aspnet/AspNetCore

This is affecting us quite badly during local development under 2.2. We're running under IIS using the in-process model and everytime the app pool needs to recycle (usually due to actual changes made during development) a build fails because files are locked by the process crash being handled.

We have to stop the app pool in IIS, build and then restart - this is painful! Are there any known workarounds in 2.2?

useful!
