Hi,

I am facing the following exception which seems to reoccur randomly about once a week, is there a way to stop this happening ?

  • Steps to reproduce
    Appears randomly whilst in use

  • Potential workaround
    Delete CFamily cache on affected build machine

Hi @tjnashq,

if I send you a PM would you be able to share the entire output log?

Hi Massimo,

Yes I would be happy to share that.

PM sent.

Hi @tjnashq,

is the cache shared by parallel executors?

6

Hi @mpaladin,

I have the CFamily set to use multiple threads, but there is only ever a single scan being run per build agent at once. The cache is local to each agent so isn’t being accessed by other agents.

7

Hi @tjnashq,

ok, thanks for the clarification. The error could be caused by a caching hashing collision maybe caused by a bug in the logic. We didn’t get any other report, if you are still facing the issue with latest version it is going to be tough to reproduce and fix.

@mpaladin
Are there any updates on a resolution to this ?

We are still having this happen at least 3-4 times a week, now running on version 8.9.1.44547.

In some of the cases I have looked into in more detail rather then simply clearing the cache on the agent the file which causes this error has not been updated in either the source or target branch of the pull request.

Hi @tjnashq ,

we are not having any other report about cache issues, unless you can reproduce the issue systematically we cannot be of much help. It may be due to concurrent/misuse of the cache.
