  • Version: master
  • Platform: Fedora24, Ubuntu1404, possibly other Linux distros as well
  • Subsystem: test

There seems to be a more recurring issue with running native addons tests on Linux. I have seen many fail lately with the message "Failed to add alternative version links to index". I pasted two examples below, but I remember there being more in the past.

Example from https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit-linux/16068/nodes=ubuntu1404-64/console:

Failed to add alternative version links to index is a docs build error rather than addons.

AFAIK Failed to add alternative version links to ... does not cause the build to fail, it just means that the docs built don't have the correct version links but they would build just fine.

The real issue in these logs is this

Aborted (core dumped)

simply building the docs should not trigger something like this...it would be helpful if we can get one of these cores to debug.

The real issue in these logs is this

The third failure doesn't include that error, so maybe a different cause.

Not sure if the core file actually gets generated (if ulimit -c is set), but if it does it probably gets cleaned up when git clean runs on the next run. So to get a core you'd probably want to take the machine offline, and try to reproduce manually to get a core.

I forget what issue/PR, but I believe this is resolved now. At the very least, hasn't happened recently enough that people have noticed and commented. Please reopen if I'm mistaken.
