[ruby-core:124152] [Ruby Bug#17878] bootstraptest/test_ractor.rb:224 a random failing test with "The outgoing-port is already closed (Ractor::ClosedError)"

11 Dec 2025

      Issue #17878 has been updated by jhawthorn (John Hawthorn).

Status changed from Assigned to Closed

It's likely this was fixed by the introduction of Ractor::Port. "The outgoing-port is already closed" isn't a message that can occur anymore (we no longer have outgoing ports)

I was running Travis several times I am trying to revive based on the master commit: `50a534a1526e2b9f4ea41e44b802bd73f9cebbeb`.
Then I got the following failure on Travis arm64 Ubuntu focal environment. The failure happened for the first time in around 5 times.

Here is the Travis log.
