Description

When recent PHP raises a "broken pipe" error in ExecFuture, treat it as a blocked stdin

Summary:
Ref T13528. If we start a subprocess that immediately exits and then write to it, we can get a broken pipe error.

Recent versions of PHP appear to raise this as an actual warning, and recent changes upgrade the warning to a runtime exception.

I can't find any way to tell if the RuntimeException is a broken pipe or something else, except by examining the text of the error string.

At least for now, treat this like a "blocked pipe" condition. Since the subprocess has exited and the bytes didn't write, this should generally be reasonable.

Test Plan:

  • Viewed a file in Paste with an extension that Pygments does not have a lexer for.
  • This causes Pygments to exit immediately with an "unrecognized lexer" error. This closes the pipe, and the next write will fail with a broken pipe error.
  • Before patch: fatal on broken pipe.
  • After patch: clean resolution of the future and error condition.
