gRPC mock server return (-1073741819) access violation error randomly on Windows

[tienvx]

This error only happen on Windows, randomly, when testing consumer (a gRPC mock server is started and a request is made to that server):

Script phpunit --no-coverage handling the test event returned with error code -1073741819

According to this comment, the error code -1073741819 is an access violation.

• I only guess it's gRPC mock server. I'm not sure

• PHPUnit reported that test is OK, so I assume this error code is not coming from PHP side

• Nothing's suspicious in the log log.txt

• There are no big different between failed test's log and passed test's log

• All logs from protobuf plugin (C:\\Users\\runneradmin\\.pact/plugins\\protobuf-0.3.13\\log) are empty, so it doesn't provide any useful information (I think it's an issue, because it happen on linux and mac too) protobuf-plugin-log-windows-8.3-lowest.zip

• It did appear once on my local Windows machine (not just Github Actions)

Switch from powershell to bash and I can see an extra error line below:

Script phpunit --no-coverage handling the test event returned with error code -1073741819
D:\a\_temp\ad6416d5-3f24-46c4-b4ed-876eaa522037.sh: line 1:  1826 Segmentation fault      composer test
Error: Process completed with exit code 139.

The number 1826 is not fixed. It look like a random number

I have a work around for this: Run tests in different jobs for Windows on Github Actions.

pact-foundation/pact-php#497

[rholshausen]

Looks like there is some issue on Windows with the integration tests as well. They are taking over 5 mins each to run.

running 1 test
test repeated_enum_test has been running for over 60 seconds
test repeated_enum_test ... ok

test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 610.03s

     Running tests\mock_server_tests.rs (target\debug\deps\mock_server_tests-cac5d069ab2d137b.exe)

running 2 tests

This error happen to csv plugin as well recently, quite frequently. If it's not related, I can create new ticket for it on pact-foundation/pact-plugins repo.

[tienvx]

Weird. This issue is suddenly gone from Pact-PHP side. I will close this issue for now.
