How to run ionic in the background

Question

I am trying to run ionic serve in the background so I can test it via my rails app on circle ci. I thought I could do it with:

nohup bash -c \"ionic serve --noli         


        

Answer 1

Why do you want it to run in background on CI ?

It should be ok to run the command directly before your test:

ionic serve --nolivereload --nobrowser &

Your CI should kill all the triggered process once its done...

Update:

If your CI does not kill the triggered process, you could do something like this:

ionic serve --nolivereload --nobrowser &
ionicpid=$!
your_test_command_here
kill -15 $ionicpid

It should work on CI if all of these commands are in the same job.
