Running many tests with sqlite in-memory backend fails with Segmentation fault #409

This happen to me a few times since I moved a large test base, of around 450 tests, to py.test (from nose), changing the django backend to either named sqlite db (test.db) or another backend does not seg fail. The failure seems to occur around the 390 test mark; even if I remove the specific tests the fault happened on.

I tried this with py.test 2.9 and latest 3.0.1 or 3.0.3.

tests.py ......
other_tests.py ...... (many more tests, ~390)

I'm getting a similar error, althought I just started a project and only have one (very) basic test, and am using the spatialite plugin for SQLite. Interestingly, my DATABASES setting specifies 'NAME': ':memory:' but both a test_:memory: and test_:memory:-journal file are created in my root directory after running pytest. @asfaltboy do you experience the same behavior?

[1]    34950 segmentation fault  pytest

Update: my tests now pass after installing pytest-ipdb, I'm on v0.1dev2:

pip install git+git://github.com/mverteuil/pytest-ipdb.git

It installs a fair amount of dependencies -- one of which may have fixed the problem -- but I don't have the time at the moment to dig into which one specifically. Here's the list:

Successfully installed appnope-0.1.0 decorator-4.0.10 ipdb-0.10.1 ipython-5.1.0
ipython-genutils-0.1.0 pexpect-4.2.1 pickleshare-0.7.4 prompt-toolkit-1.0.8

Hopefully related: I have a test suite running on sqlite - it passes during normal operation. However if I add --pdb then I get the segmentation fault. Could it be something to do with how the stack traces are stored which pytest-ipdb fixed?

Not sure if it's related, but after further testing I only experienced segfaults or bus errors with SQLite > 3.13.0

I'm on an old sqlite 2.8.17

If you are using systemd check out coredumpctl gdb (and then bt when inside gdb) to see if there is some more information where it crashes.

There's a bug in sqlite 3.13 or so which causes segmentation faults, and sadly it's the default version in ubuntu. You should try to update sqlite and see if it fixes your issue :

wget https://github.com/ghaering/pysqlite/archive/2.8.3.tar.gz \
    && wget https://www.sqlite.org/2016/sqlite-autoconf-3150200.tar.gz \
    && tar -xzf sqlite-autoconf-3150200.tar.gz \
    && tar -xzvf 2.8.3.tar.gz \
    && cd sqlite-autoconf-3150200 \
    && ./configure \
    && make \
    && make install \
    && cd .. \
    && cp /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 \
    && cp -av sqlite-autoconf-3150200/. pysqlite-2.8.3/ \

Nobody provides a stacktrace?! 🤷‍♂️
Is it still present in the current release?

Not really a pytest-django bug though - closing.

Feel free to provide a PR if you have some workaround, and it's relevant though.

Just FYI I'm seeing a very similar backtrace with Django 2.0 and sqlite 3.8.2, Python 3.6.3 on Ubuntu (Travis CI) and not on my devel workstation which is RHEL 7 with an older sqlite3. From what I can tell the segafult happens on an UPDATE query.

I've also dropped pytest and running my tests via manage.py test still reproduces the issue. Any hints would be welcome. Thanks.

@atodorov you may want to take a look at Django ticket #24080 which seems to indicate this is likely an issue with SQLite rather than with Django.

One commenter points to related ticket on SQLite #7f7f8026eda38 which was fixed in version 3.12.1. I believe I eventually resolved my original issue by upgrading to latest SQLite as well, so I suggest you try that as well.

thanks for the links. I've seen the Django ticket and indeed an upgrade of sqlite solved the issue. However I don't think I've been hitting the same sqlite issue as you linked. Anyway update solves it.

ptrstn added a commit to ptrstn/TkDQMDoctor that referenced this issue Aug 15, 2018
In-memory sqlite seems to cause segmentation faults as noted here:
pytest-dev/pytest-django#409

Travis-CI gives following error message:
