Task Log - Fix Test Script Killing Docker

Actions

• Script Logic Fix:
  • Updated starter/test_multi_tenant.sh to move the port check after docker-compose down.
  • Added logic to check the process name before killing. If the process is OrbStack or com.docker, the script will warn instead of killing it.

Decisions

• Prevent Self-Destruct: The previous script used lsof ... | xargs kill -9 which inadvertently killed the Docker runtime (OrbStack) because it proxies the container ports. This caused the "Cannot connect to Docker daemon" error.
• Order of Operations: Tearing down containers first (docker-compose down) is the correct way to release ports held by Docker. Force killing is a last resort for zombie processes, not for the Docker daemon itself.

Next Steps

1. Restart OrbStack:

   • Since the previous run killed it, you must manually restart the OrbStack application.

2. Run the Test Script:

   cd starter
   ./test_multi_tenant.sh
   

3. Verify:

   • The script should now gracefully handle the port cleanup without killing the Docker daemon.
