tests fail with Error code 245

[yurivict]

On FreeBSD tests fail in 3.0.0:

testing/test_tmpdir.py ...........s
testing/test_unittest.py ......................*** Error code 245

It should at least say what is wrong.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

that looks like a operating system error - its not clear what happens on bsd there
can you provide more information?

[yurivict]

While tracing system calls I see that this number is the return code of some shell process. It started early on, and then its error code is printed this way.

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

does py.test actually fail, or is it just the output of your other process?
i have literally no idea what is happening, at a first uneducated guess however it looks like pytest is not at fault

[yurivict]

I don't have any other process. The shell that fails is launched from under py.test.

@yurivict do you see this problem in other test suites, or only on pytest's?

[yurivict]

Only in pytest. The problem existed before 3.0.0 too.

As others said, that really doesn't look like an error coming from pytest... Could you maybe try running strace on it and showing the output somewhere?

[yurivict]

Error code came from the framework. I narrowed it down to this command failure:

# py.test -rfsxX test_unittest.py

test_unittest.py ...............FF.....FBus error

Furthermore, failure happens in test_trial_testcase_runtest_not_collected inside the call reprec = testdir.inline_run()

[yurivict]

It turned out that reinstalling py-cryptography helped. Was some random, unexplainable thing.

Thanks for the follow up!

I'm getting the same error, with Plumbum and the python nightlies (all other versions work in Travis). Is there something in the (python 3.6) nightlies that might cause an incompatibility?

[The-Compiler]

245 is -11 which is a segmentation fault - so yeah, something in Plumbum or pytest is probably causing Python to segfault.
