launch_uris() indeed inherits stdout/stderr to the child, which is
usually what you want. But not in this case, when we exit the parent
process before the child.
The launch_uris_as_manager() method gives more flexibility, in
particular you can give custom GLib.SpawnFlags to it (launch_uris() just
uses GLib.SpawnFlags.SEARCH_PATH). Unfortunately this is currently
rather awkward to use from Python as it's missing some annotations:
$ python -c "from gi.repository import GLib, Gio;
Gio.DesktopAppInfo.new('gcalctool.desktop').launch_uris_as_manager([], None,
GLib.SpawnFlags.STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL, None, None, None, None)" | tee /tmp/foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Argument 2 does not allow None as a value
If I hack the annotations to add the missing allow-none's, it works
fine:
$ python -c "from gi.repository import GLib, Gio;
Gio.DesktopAppInfo.new('gcalctool.desktop').launch_uris_as_manager([],
None, GLib.SpawnFlags.SEARCH_PATH | GLib.SpawnFlags.STDOUT_TO_DEV_NULL,
None, None, None, None)" | tee /tmp/foo
This now immediately returns.

Title:
Executing autopilot test suite fails to close when piped to tee
Status in Autopilot:
Confirmed
Status in The "G" Library - GLib:
In Progress
Status in “gobject-introspection” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
Executing "autopilot run autopilot | tee /tmp/autopilot.log" never
closes on my trusty box. The autopilot process closes (according to
"ps -ef") but the tee process stays open. It appears that tee is
missing the EOF.
I originally saw this on the CI autopilot runner:
http://s-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/job/autopilot-testrunner-otto-trusty/1390/console
It appears I'm running an unreleased version:
python-autopilot:
Installed: 1.4+14.04.20131205.1-0ubuntu1
python-autopilot-tests:
Installed: 1.4+14.04.20131206.1-0ubuntu1
Will try again with the archive version and update the report.
