How did you run these tests? I don't see failures for this on EMBA, nor 
when running it manually on GNU/Linux (latest Mint) via "make -C test 
server-tests".

These tests are somewhat brittle since they spawn emacsclient processes 
to verify that the client can communicate with an Emacs server. The 
tests make some assumptions about how they'll be run, so probably one of 
those assumptions doesn't hold.

I thought we'd worked out all the issues with the tests, but apparently 
not...

'make -j5 check' on Fedora, 'make -j12 check' on Ubuntu.

Interesting. Running "./configure && make -j4 && make -j4 check" on both 
Emacs master and the 29 branch shows these tests passing for me.

I tried running it again on Ubuntu, several times, and this time 
server-tests.el succeeded. As you say, it may be a timing-related bug.

I still see other failures related to coding systems and the locale and 
reported them as Bug#61534.

I tried running it on Fedora 37 x86-64 on a slow machine (AMD Phenom II 
X4 910e) and reproduced the timing bug. The output of 'make check' 
contained:

     GEN      lisp/server-tests.log
   Running 7 tests (2023-02-23 09:45:51-0800, selector `(not (or (tag 
:expensive-test) (tag :unstable) (tag :nativecomp)))')
   make[3]: *** [Makefile:174: lisp/server-tests.log] Error 157

I guess "Error 157" means signal 29 (157 - 128), which is SIGIO on this 
platform.

This was with Emacs master (commit 
6411a9af03a4eb1a82db47a9642b11ba7edaaaf0).

Since the last message I posted, I'm now also seeing this test fail, 
though I get a segfault instead. I bisected this to commit 
a555abc56d5270cebe94f904189526d7ac433a94 ("Fix order of faces in 
'face-list'").

I'm pretty surprised by this, since that patch is *very* simple, but I 
can reliably segfault with it, and never segfault without it. I'll keep 
digging to see what's going on here.

The segfault is in FACE_FROM_ID_OR_NULL, called from 
Finternal_merge_in_global_face. It happens because the face_cache is 
null during these tests (since Emacs is noninteractive).

The attached patch fixes the issue for me, though I'm not totally sure 
it's the *right* fix. Any thoughts? (I'm also not 100% sure this is the 
same issue you're seeing...)

Please remove the redundant braces after ``if (noninteractive)''.  Thanks.

Oh yeah. I had some vague recollection that Emacs preferred braces 
there, but I'm clearly confusing it with another project. Fixed.

Please show the C backtrace from the crash, and include the Lisp
backtrace (the "xbacktrace" command in src/.gdbinit).

Why do you think a frame's face cache doesn't exist in noninteractive
sessions?  Such a session does have a (small) frame, and that frame
does have a face cache.  Here, try this with the emacs-29 branch:

 $ gdb ./emacs
 ...
 (gdb) break xfaces.c:4193
 (gdb) r -batch --eval "(insert (propertize \" \" 'face '(:forground \"red\")))"

When the breakpoint breaks, you will see:

  (gdb) p c
  $1 = (struct face_cache *) 0x6beeb78
  (gdb) p c->used
  $2 = 19

So in this case there is a face cache for the frame, and it has 19
faces cached.

Therefore, I think there's more here than meets the eye.  The frame's
face cache might be empty because some code caused us to do so (we do
that when a new face is added), in which case TRT to do is to
recompute all the basic faces.  But first we need to try to understand
what exactly caused the cache to be emptied.

Ok, I ran Emacs (master branch) under GDB with the following arguments:

   -Q -L ":../test" -l ert -l lisp/server-tests.el --batch --eval 
'(ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit (quote (not (or (tag :unstable) (tag 
:nativecomp)))))'

Attached is the backtrace from 'xbacktrace'.

I think this only occurs when starting the Emacs server in a batch-mode 
Emacs process and then starting a client via "emacsclient -c". I see the 
segfault when running any of the tests in test/lisp/server-tests.el that 
create a frame (e.g. 'server-tests/server-start/stop-prompt-with-client').

This also only seems to occur if the first face that 
'face-set-after-frame-default' passes to 'internal-merge-in-global-face' 
is the default face.

Although I see a patch has been installed for that segfault, I'm still 
seeing a server-tests.el failure of the original kind with SIGIO, this 
time on a faster (though by no means bleeding edge) machine (a Xeon 
W-1350) running Ubuntu 22.10 with current patches. This is with current 
master (commit 8797e514ab68c12ed05d3af88e6baba64bf08f4d).

The SIGIO symptom this time contains a few more details, perhaps because 
Ubuntu's shell is chattier than Fedora's:

I'm also getting a failure with mule-tests:

This is unrelated, and should be fixed now on the emacs-29 branch.

I've tried running these tests several times in various configurations, 
and I just can't reproduce it locally no matter what I do (on Linux 
Mint). Do you still see this failure if you run "make -C test 
server-tests"? That might help narrow down which test(s) are causing the 
SIGIO. If that doesn't help, maybe just try commenting out some of the 
tests in server-tests.el to see which ones are failing?

Sorry that's not very helpful on its own, but if we can narrow down 
where the issue is, I can take a stab at fixing it.

I can make server-tests fail 100% on master and emacs-29 on Debian by
running the tests from inside emacs using vterm. I commented out all
the tests except server-tests/server-force-stop/keeps-frames

It's probably bogus, or the test is unstable, but just so we don't
give up easily: can you show a C and Lisp backtrace from the SIGIO
signal handler when it gets the signal in this case?

Iʼd love to, but our signal handler never gets called:

What does "handle SIGIO" say before you type "run"?  Try this:

  (gdb) handle SIGIO stop print

and then run the test in batch mode again.

That gets me the same backtrace:

The program received a signal in another thread while

Evaluation of the expression containing the function
(backtrace_top) will be abandoned.
When the function is done executing, GDB will silently stop.

Why does make-frame create a GUI X frame in a batch session?  (I've
seen that in your previous backtrace, but thought it was because you
ran that test in an interactive session.)  Is that because emacsclient
and/or server insist on that, or because some snafu inside make-frame,
or something else?  Can you figure that out?  I looked at the code,
but didn't see anything obvious.

I don't think we should create GUI frames in batch, since the SIGIO
handler is not set, and we generally aren't prepared for receiving
it.  We should create a TTY frame instead, or maybe no frame at all.

Thanks.

DISPLAY is set. The following

    set environment DISPLAY=

in gdb makes the test succeed.

The test does 'emacsclient -c', changing that to 'emacsclient -c -nw'
also makes the test succeed

I think the former would be better. Jim, since you wrote this test,
what do you think?

Ah ha, that's why I couldn't reproduce this. I usually run tests in an 
SSH session (most of my development work is in an isolated VM so I can 
throw it away if I mess something up really badly). Running within a GUI 
session, I see the error now.

We should definitely create a frame in these tests, since that's what 
the tests are trying to, well, test. (All the server tests are there to 
make sure that the usual things you might do with "emacsclient" work 
properly.)

This might be a real bug in Emacs: as Eli says, an Emacs server started 
in batch mode shouldn't create GUI frames, but on the other hand, this 
might be only be relevant to the regression tests (who starts an Emacs 
server in a batch session?). I wouldn't mind just adding "-nw" to all 
the "emacsclient -c" invocations in server-tests.el.

How about changing make-frame on master to create a TTY frame in batch
sessions, even if DISPLAY is set in the environment?

That could work. Just to see what would happen, I tried running the 
Emacs server in a batch session and then calling "emacsclient -c -nw":

   emacs -Q --batch --eval '(progn (server-start) (while t (sit-for 1)))'
   emacsclient -c -nw

Surprisingly, it seems to mostly work, although it echoes control 
characters to the screen.

Anyway, here's a patch for this. Maybe there's a better way to do it, 
but this seemed like the least-invasive.

Subject: [PATCH] Don't create GUI frames in batch sessions

This resolves an issue with running test/lisp/server-tests.el when
'DISPLAY' is set: the tests would start the Emacs server in a batch
session, and then request a new GUI frame.  However, that caused the
tests to terminate with SIGIO, since a batch Emacs doesn't set a SIGIO
handler.

Itʼs not that we canʼt, itʼs that we shouldnʼt. If we install a SIGIO
handler and run the test with DISPLAY set, a GUI frame appears
briefly.

I think that might be better off using `alist-get' + `setf' to avoid
having two `display' elements in the parameters.

Well, since we don't have a SIGIO handler (and merely adding one 
wouldn't be a useful change, it seems), I'd say "can't" applies for now 
at least. :)

But it would probably make sense to expand this comment to explain 
*why*, since it's not as informative as it could be...

Would that be safe? Since 'parameters' is an argument, we don't actually 
know how it was created or if modifying in-place would be ok. If it were 
just a regular quoted list, using 'setf' could cause problems.

If this aspect could be an issue, perhaps it is better to implement
the change without touching 'parameters' at all?  It isn't hard, it
just might make the change less elegant and slightly larger.

Pushing onto the front of 'parameters' should be safe, in the sense that 
after 'make-frame' returns, the caller wouldn't be able to tell that we 
did anything to it. So long as the caller can't tell, I think it's ok.

However, there might be a better way to do this anyway; I'll think it over.

Ok, I think this is better. Now, instead of messing with 'parameters', 
when in batch mode, we just always treat the window-system as nil (i.e. 
create a terminal frame). I ran the server tests with this patch, and 
they all look good.
