Hey @zebrapurring, thanks for trying out the new arm64 builds!

I just span up an Ampere A1 ARM node on Oracle Cloud running the Ubuntu image. I ran these commands after SSHing in:

apt update
apt install docker docker.io git
git clone https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-test-tiny.git
docker run -v `pwd`/cypress-test-tiny:/app -it cypress/included:10.3.0 --project /app

...and the tests passed. Also, I was able to run cypress info.

I have the same cpuinfo as you, but my uname -a output differs somewhat:

Linux dda1f29c7367 5.15.0-1011-oracle #15-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 10 12:21:49 UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

What OS are you running? Any other configuration information you think may be pertinent?

[zebrapurring]

Thanks @flotwig for the quick response! I'm running a K3s cluster on Oracle Linux 8.6, just tried running the tests from cypress-test-tiny manually and it crashed as well.

setenforce Permissive
dnf install docker git
git clone https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-test-tiny.git
docker run -v `pwd`/cypress-test-tiny:/app -it cypress/included:10.3.0 --project /app

Outputs:

The Test Runner unexpectedly exited via a exit event with signal SIGSEGV

The node configuration is the default, the only installed software is K3s through https://get.k3s.io.

@zebrapurring Thanks for the info. Weird that we detect CentOS as "Debian"...

I was able to reproduce with Oracle Linux. Since it's CentOS based, I'm pretty sure we're getting hit by electron/electron#25387 - the reproduction there also fails on my Oracle Linux install, with the version Cypress is using (18.3.0), and the latest stable (19.0.0), and the latest beta (v20.0.0-beta.8). It fails in docker run -it ubuntu bash as well.

I'll bump the issue over there for now: electron/electron#25387 (comment)

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.

[zebrapurring]

The issue is still present.

Tested with cypress/included:13.13.2 and the issue is no longer reproducible.
