Running lit commands in docker build segfault at exit.

[creationix]

I reproduced this with latest luvi (v2.12.0) on both alpine and ubuntu docker environments with both building from source and using the prebuilt get-lit luvi binaries. I don't think it's a luvi issue entirely.

A simple docker based luvi+lit app looks something like this:

FROM creationix/lit
ADD package.lua .
RUN lit install
ADD main.lua .
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["luvi", "."]

This normally works great, but with the latest version of lit, it will fail after lit install finishes:

$ docker build webserver/

Step 1/6 : FROM creationix/lit

Step 2/6 : ADD package.lua .

Step 3/6 : RUN lit install

The command '/bin/sh -c lit install' returned a non-zero code: 139

I'm wondering if it's related to some recent changes to how stdout is managed in pretty-print? Not sure really.

I can work around the issue in the Dockerfile by ignoring the return value like RUN lit install || true. As far as I can tell, the result is correct.

I don't think it's related to a lack of tty. I can use docker run creationix/lit lit ... with or without a pseudo terminal and there are no segfaults for any lit command. All lit commands segfault while exiting during the docker build step.

Not sure if it's any help, but I recently faced a similar issue when testing electron apps. It would segfault only on the Ubuntu VM, apparently because the output could not be rendered. My workaround was something like export DISPLAY=:45 && xvfb-run --server-num 45 before running the command in question, though I'm not a Linux expert so that might be bad.

I used GitHub actions and they run inside a Docker environment, so I figured it might be at least tangentially related... Could also be something else, since I also had the same issue when accessing the VM via ssh.

Run into the same issue trying to setup lua in a docker container. Here are some artifacts from me digging into the issue.

FROM ubuntu:latest

    rm /etc/localtime && \
