Root Cause

A worker process in pytest-xdist crashed due to a segmentation fault or abort, often caused by a C extension bug or memory corruption.

generic

中文

pytest-xdist 中的一个工作进程因段错误或中止而崩溃，通常由 C 扩展错误或内存损坏引起。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    Run tests with a single worker to isolate the issue: `pytest -p no:xdist` or `pytest -n 0`
  2. 70% success 
    Use `pytest --timeout` to detect hanging tests and reduce memory usage, or debug with gdb to find the crash location.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 80% fail

    More workers may increase memory pressure and exacerbate the crash, not fix the underlying issue.

  2. 90% fail

    The crash is likely reproducible and indicates a serious bug; ignoring it leads to unreliable test results.
