jest: [Bug]: Getting SIGSEGV while running Jest test(s)

Version

29.2.6

Steps to reproduce

I cannot share my code but I have about 170 test cases in over 12 test suites in my project. For months I was able to run them all together and I needed separately for each suite.

Since 2 weeks I am getting a SIGSEGV segfault error at some point. Before this, all tests were running fine. After the first occurence of the SIGSEGV, it comes up every time again. After rebooting my system, the issue seems to be gone but it will come back a few minutes or hours later.

I ran the tests for months with the command: “jest --runInBand --forceExit”. For testing, I removed the two options and also tried to use “–detectOpenHandles” or “–maxWorkers=x”. Unfortunately nothing helped.

Expected behavior

An error like a SIGSEGV should never happen in an environment like this. Whatever the issue is caused by should throw a normal error that can be handled through the framework. There is no possibility to detect the cause of this issue.

Actual behavior

PID 14705 received SIGSEGV for address: 0x0

Additional context

I installed the “segfault-handler” package to my project, which will log the stack trace to a log file. This gives me some extra output:

at lib/test/test.helper.service.ts:153:21
      at $.getWebSocketClass (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:2306)
      at eval (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:2846)
      at $._connectToHost (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:2764)
      at $.send (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:4613)
      at eval (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:9059)
          at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
      at eval (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:9047)
      at console.eval [as log] (eval at oo_oo (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:1015:51), <anonymous>:1:10447)
      at Object.<anonymous> (fee/fee.service.spec.ts:303:51)

I wonder, why something like “$.send” and “$._connectToHost” appears here. I have not set up any remote connection to any system. I was thinking about if the issue has something to do with the event-emitter I am using? The project heavily uses events which are emitted whole over the system, also during the tests. Or has it something to do with console.log? Line 303 which is shown in this stack trace only contains a console log with a simple hardcoded string value.
