Issue #20045 has been updated by vo.x (Vit Ondruch). BTW `TestFileExhaustive#test_expand_path_for_existent_username` still fails as well, but that is likely the same issue: ~~~ $ LANG=C make test-all 'TESTS=-v -n /TestFileExhaustive#test_expand_path_for_existent_username/' Run options: --seed=41002 "--ruby=./miniruby -I./lib -I. -I.ext/common ./tool/runruby.rb --extout=.ext -- --disable-gems" --excludes-dir=./test/excludes --name=!/memory_leak/ -v -n /TestFileExhaustive#test_expand_path_for_existent_username/ # Running tests: [1/0] TestFileExhaustive#test_expand_path_for_existent_username = 0.04 s 1) Error: TestFileExhaustive#test_expand_path_for_existent_username: RuntimeError: can't set length of shared string /builddir/ruby-3.2.2/test/ruby/test_file_exhaustive.rb:1122:in `expand_path' /builddir/ruby-3.2.2/test/ruby/test_file_exhaustive.rb:1122:in `test_expand_path_for_existent_username' Finished tests in 4.007503s, 0.2495 tests/s, 0.4991 assertions/s. 1 tests, 2 assertions, 0 failures, 1 errors, 0 skips ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [i686-linux] make: *** [uncommon.mk:855: yes-test-all] Error 1 ~~~ ---------------------------------------- Bug #20045: `TestDir#test_home` fails on i686 https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20045#change-105570 * Author: vo.x (Vit Ondruch) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * ruby -v: ruby 3.2.2 (2023-03-30 revision e51014f9c0) [i686-linux] * Backport: 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN, 3.2: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- This is followup to #19147.

The test passes just fine with e.g. `C.UTF-8` locale. We were able to reduce the test case to the following: ~~~ $ whoami mockbuild $ echo 'File.expand_path("~mockbuild")' > test.rb $ LANG=C RUBYLIB=/builddir/ruby-3.2.2/.ext/i686-linux LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./ruby --disable-gems test.rb test.rb:1:in `expand_path': can't set length of shared string (RuntimeError) from test.rb:1:in `<main>' ~~~ As I said earlier, the `LANG=C` is essential as well as the `RUBYLIB=/builddir/ruby-3.2.2/.ext/i386-linux`. Adding the path to `RUBYLIB` enables Ruby to load the following libraries: ~~~ /builddir/ruby-3.2.2/.ext/i686-linux/enc/encdb.so /builddir/ruby-3.2.2/.ext/i686-linux/enc/trans/transdb.so ~~~ And that makes the difference. Also, the `File.expand_path("~mockbuild")` must be in some file, replacing this by `-e 'File.expand_path("~mockbuild")'` does not reproduce the issue. We also believe that this was introduced by https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/6699, specifically by commit:git|5246f4027ec574e77809845e1b1f7822cc2a5cef and fixed in master by commit:git|b4571097df4a6bd848f1195026d82a92f3a7f9d8. Unfortunately, we were not able to discover what is the mechanism behind this, why this depends on locale, why the test must be in file, why the string is shared etc. But I hope we have provided enough details for someone else more knowledgeable.
