zinit update --parallel leaves some unfinished background process

[OmeletWithoutEgg]

There is a option to update the plugins parallelly. Is it normal that, after running zinit update --parallel, it will leave some uncleaned child process? One can run fg or just run the parallel update in a shell inside another shell and exit.

Could you share screenshot(s) or video?

The update can be done only after I commented https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit/blob/main/zinit.zsh#L2949 (with the master branch)

Just noticed that I can't update anymore and found this issue #502

Is the problem being solved in fix/zinit-update-or-status branch? It seems that jobs -l will have no uncleaned process in that branch.

@OmeletWithoutEgg,

Yes, it is being worked on. I plan on removing the current multi-processing logic in favor of using builtin zargs command. Using zargs should remove the issue you see regarding zombie jobs.

Feel free to try out the branch and give any feedback you might have (positive or negative).

I expect to have the refactor done sometime this weekend.
