crashing with Astro

šŸ”— posted

Currently listening to: MƘL ā€“ Diorama

I mentioned in my last post that Astro might be a good fit for what Iā€™m looking for in a static site generator so I figured I donā€™t have a ton of content, might as well just go all in and port the whole thing over and see how it goes.

I began converting the templates and content from my current site and at some point npm run build started blowing up. I didnā€™t notice this right away because the live server started by npm run dev worked more-or-less fine, it would only give me errors when I restarted the process or ran npm run build.

semver is a lie we tell ourselves and each other

The version Iā€™m using is 0.22.20. The stability of pre-1.0 versions ranges from ā€œcrashes every third time you run itā€ to ā€œrock solidā€ because semver is a lie we all pretend to believe so we can maintain the illusion version numbers have any meaning beyond ā€œnumber gets biggerā€.

My heuristic for judging project stability and how much I should prepare for a broken experience does not include project version: itā€™s almost entirely based on the quality of documentation. The Astro docs are pretty good, and I even found this reassuring quote on the Comparing Astro page thatā€™s relevant (emphasis mine):

A few features are still missing from Astro, and several APIs are not yet finalized. However, the project is considered stable from a bug perspective and several production websites have already been built using Astro. This is an important point to consider when choosing Astro.

back to breaking stuff

I removed stuff until I got it building, then added stuff back until it broke again. I got the repro case down to a build with a single file, src/pages/index.astro, and I went through a few discovery paths within that file: was it some broken HTML? I have some multibyte characters in here, is that messing anything up? Is there anything strange about my frontmatter?

Nothing was adding up. Iā€™d make some tag changes, add some more multibyte, take some awayā€”the failures seemed random. I started to worry this bug was either non-deterministic or based on hidden persisted state, like a build cache I didnā€™t know about.

Then I had a thought: what if there is no relationship to my specific content? I reverted back to what I started with and began replacing the contents of the file, byte by byte, with xs.

This intuition proved correct, the crash had nothing to do with the semantics of the file at all. The code path that triggered it was completely determined by the number of bytes in the file. So I wrote a lil fuzzer (see Appendix A) to write an increasing number of bytes to src/pages/index.astro and keep track of where it started failing. I let it run for a few hours and the results were fascinating:

  • 0000-2912 bytes: šŸ†—
  • 2913-2928 bytes: RuntimeError: Error: Uh oh, the Astro compiler encountered an unrecoverable error!
  • 2929-2944 bytes: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'code')
  • 2945-2976 bytes: šŸ‘šŸ½
  • 2977-2992 bytes: panic: runtime error: nil pointer dereference
  • 2993-3024 bytes: ā›µļø
  • 3025-3104 bytes: panic: runtime error: nil pointer dereference
  • >= 3105 bytes: šŸ˜Ž

There are three distinct types1 of šŸ’£šŸ’„ that occur in four different ranges. The first three ranges are all 16 bytes wide, and the last range is 80 bytes wide, which are numbers that makes my computer brain feel nice, but I am not sure why the errors appear at those specific offsets.

Itā€™s possible thereā€™s something going on in 16 byte chunks. Looking at the last good byte before the offsets, [2912, 2928, 2976, 3024], those are all divisible by 16, so the next byte which is the one that starts causing the failure would be the start of a new chunk. This could absolutely be a coincidence, though.

bias confirmed

I love testing because it lets me pretend my software will work out there in the dangerous and hostile world of actual user input.

I love generating test cases even more because I want to run a lot of tests but coming up with them by hand is hella boring and also suffers from my own bias of knowing how the dang thing worksā€”Iā€™m more likely to test stuff I think would fail, which tends to be loosely correlated at best with how things actually fail in the wild.

If I were developing Astro (and maybe Iā€™ll try to contribute if I decide to stick with it for the long haul) I would toss some property tests into the mix. The types of failures found in this post are exactly the kinda stuff Iā€™ve caught with property-based testing, and the ā€œshrinkingā€ that most frameworks provide would have likely been able to identify (or at least point toward) a minimal repro case.

In the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem, fast-check is by far the best library for property-based testing. If you write either of these languages for fun or profit and you havenā€™t tried out fast-check, please stop reading my dumb words go check it out.

As far as that nil pointer derefence, sure does smell an awful lot like Go. As of 1.18 fuzzing is part of the standard tooling. I donā€™t know what part of the Astro toolchain is written in Go, but it could probably benefit from some fuzzing.

Even without any special tools or frameworks, thereā€™s big payoff to writing code that generates tests. I almost donā€™t wanna call what I wrote for this exploration a ā€œfuzzerā€ because itā€™s deterministically testing a very specific part of the state space, but even with relatively low effort this method found (at least) four distinct code paths that have unexpected behavior!

Dan Luu has a great post about this: Given that devs spend the effort they do on testing, what can we do to improve testing?

this is already fixed in the next version

I started putting together a bug report and figured I should test against the latest prerelease, make sure it hasnā€™t been fixed before I put a lot of effort into explaining the problem and cleaning up the reproduction cases.

I ran the fuzzer against 0.23.0-next.9 and as it turns out this is fixed! Clean bill of health. Might be interesting to dig into the diff between 0.22.20 and 0.23.0-next.9 to figure out what changed that could have fixed this bug, but Iā€™m supposed to be porting content right now so I need to stop this side quest before I get even more distracted.

I ran into a few other bugs that I didnā€™t write about here that were not as interesting, but even still this isnā€™t close to the worst experience Iā€™ve had trying out a piece of software and this post is not trying to slam the Astro devs. I am a Spiders Georg of software bugs, an outlier who should not be counted. Everything2 I touch3 breaks4 nearly immediately just trying to use it normally (well, normal for me).

Footnotes

  1. I also manually found a 4th way of getting the compiler to blow up that is mostly based on file size, but it does require having some of the bytes be in a frontmatter section. That one triggers an entirely different error path having to do with WASM, null function or function signature mismatch. ā†©

  2. Iā€™m doing the component/template development in VS Code. Iā€™ve had to use Developer: Reload Window about 7 times in the last day because it will stop letting me type numbers. I can type other stuff, but for some reason it just refuses to put a number in the file if I press 0-9. This almost certainly has to do with the interplay of new VS Code version and some extension Iā€™m using because it just started doing this after a recent VS Code update. ā†©

  3. Iā€™m drafting this post in Obsidian and Iā€™ve had to force-refresh it about 5 times because it keeps, I donā€™t know how to describe it, eating the text I write? I type, text shows up, but the cursor doesnā€™t move and when I click somewhere else the text goes away. I think this started when I added Appendix C but Iā€™m not entirely sure. ā†©

  4. If I keep Docker for Mac open, it does something weird to my sound. I donā€™t know why Docker is messing with sound subsystems at all, but it causes my sound to cut in and out unless I killall -9 coreaudio every once in a while. ā†©
