What comes for external users debugging the segfaults in Coin currently there is only the logs on testresults server. Only related ticket has been https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTQAINFRA-990 which resulted in the CORE_FILES_PATH upload process. Create a ticket for Coin project https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/COIN and we can discuss if there is a generic enough way to print useful information from the segfaults or other way convey the wanted information.

These are then uploaded to Coin storage at the end of the job. As far as enabling that goes via coin scheduler, setting the CORE_FILES_PATH is possible via the customize feature in the scheduler by setting the environment variable, rest is done always/automatically. No printing will happen in the log from the core files. From technical view point it only specifies additional folder to upload at end of the job. I am unsure about how much this has been ever used and I would think the easier way would be to acquire a Coin VM for debugging and with that reproduce the failure is available. This could also use input from developers with actual experience of debugging these cases.

As far as I can see now all configurations print "Skip uploading core files because CORE_FILES_PATH is not set in the environment" so it's not possible to get any further then fact that test finished with segmentation fault. Is there any way to enable core files in custom build configuration? If yes, will Coin automatically load core and print backtrace to log or some other actions are needed? -- Regards, Konstantin _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
