Crystal: Crash depending on require order

[felixbuenemann]

There's a crash in Crystal 0.27.0 that did not happen in 0.26.1 when using minitest.cr (0.4.0 for 0.26.1 / 0.4.2 for 0.27.0) and HTTP::Client in the same file that depends on the order of the minitest/autorun and http/client requires.

The following example works:

require "http/client"
require "minitest/autorun"

class FooTest < Minitest::Test
  def test_http_client
    response = HTTP::Client.get("http://www.example.org")
    assert_equal true, response.success?
  end
end

However the following code crashes (require order switched):

require "minitest/autorun"
require "http/client"

class FooTest < Minitest::Test
  def test_http_client
    response = HTTP::Client.get("http://www.example.org")
    assert_equal true, response.success?
  end
end

System info:

$ crystal -v
Crystal 0.27.0 (2018-11-04)

LLVM: 6.0.1
Default target: x86_64-apple-macosx

System is macOS Mojave 10.14.1 and Crystal was installed from Homebrew using the precompiled bottle for Mojave.

Maybe @ysbaddaden (author of minitest.cr) has an idea what could be causing this.

[asterite]

It's probably a compiler bug. Just require stuff in the correct order as a workaround.

[ysbaddaden]

It's a compiler bug. It happened to me numerous times the last few months. The only workaround it to run with --no-debug :disappointed:

Duplicate of https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/6920

[felixbuenemann]

Thanks for the update, I wasn’t sure it was the same issue as #6920 since it only started for me on 0.27.0 and the issue was older than that release.

[ysbaddaden]

We changed OpenSSL to support v1.1 which changed BIO, and it seems to trigger the bug.

Nice to know that we can require the app before minitest/autorun to avoid this.

--no-debug saves my half day.
