Are you using the vite based dev-server with ssr?

[helloaliimran]

vite based dev-server

no I am using simple VS Code compiler, and yes SSR is enable.

[alan-agius4]

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "VS Code compiler" in this context. You can either be using the Webpack or Vite based dev-server. Given that you're using SSR and encountering this issue, it's probable that you're working with the Vite dev server.

This is a known issue in this case, and is appears to be caused zone.js. As a workaround, you can use q + <enter>.

Encountering the same issue for the past couple of weeks... (Angular 18.2 with Vite/SSR, WSL shell)
ng serve => Ctrl + C sometimes works, and oftentimes stops working; especially when there's a console log.

Reproduction

1. app.component.ts → constructor() { console.log('hello'); }
2. ng serve
3. Navigate to http://localhost:4200
4. hello will be printed to the terminal, and after that Ctrl + C doesn't work
   

Workarounds

Ctrl + D or q + <enter> work.

I have the same problem

[kuncevic]

same problem here, initially thought taking place only in vs code but however same using external terminal.
If you just serve and then ctrl+c all works, tho breaks after you console.log
