Bug report

Bug description:

Consider the following server that always just crashes:

importasyncioasyncdefhandle_echo(reader,writer):raiseException("I break everything")asyncdefmain():server=awaitasyncio.start_server(handle_echo,'127.0.0.1',8888)asyncwithserver:awaitserver.serve_forever()asyncio.run(main(),debug=True)

Together with the following client:

importasyncioasyncdeftcp_echo_client(message):reader,writer=awaitasyncio.open_connection('127.0.0.1',8888)data=awaitreader.read(100)print(data)writer.close()awaitwriter.wait_closed()print("closed")asyncio.run(tcp_echo_client('Hello World!'),debug=True)

When running this in Python 3.8, the server prints aTask exception was never retrieved message with an exception. I guess this is acceptable. However, the connection is never closed, and the client is kept hanging. That should not happen in my opinion.

Furthermore, in newer Python versions, due to#96323, the internal task is being kept alive indefinitely. Therefore, theTask exception was never retrieved message is only printed when you kill the server. Otherwise, the failure is completely silent. This is extremely counter-intuitive behavior.

CPython versions tested on:

3.11

Operating systems tested on:

Linux
