Description

I tried this code:

#[test]
fn test2() {
    std::process::Command::new("adb")
    .args(["devices"])
    .stdout(Stdio::piped())
    .stderr(Stdio::piped())
    .spawn()
    .unwrap();
}

Only panics when using use std::process::Command; in Test Debug mode, but not in other cases.
And only panic on Windows 10 21H2 19044.2846.

Here is an issue discussing this problem, and it includes two videos of about ten seconds to demonstrate the situation.

test result: FAILED. 0 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.07s

I deciphered the garbled message, and it seems to mean "The handle is invalid."

Research direction

Start with the test2 reproducer using std::process::Command::spawn and compare its behavior in Test Debug mode on Windows 10 21H2 with the other reported cases. Read the linked Tokio issue for related observations. Done means the reported panic or invalid-handle error is reproduced, understood, and covered by an appropriate regression test or documented limitation.
