How do I pass the test runsTestsInNativeImage?

[djkeh]

Hello, I somehow run and pass all the test using gradle test command only except this one - runsTestsInNativeImage, and here's what it says:

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':nativeTest' (type 'NativeRunTask').

• In plugin 'org.graalvm.buildtools.gradle.NativeImagePlugin$Inject' type 'org.graalvm.buildtools.gradle.tasks.NativeRunTask' property 'image' specifies file '/private/var/folders/k4/ld99hf690ts5m_w0yryqyssc0000gn/T/junit-9253762965173018190/build/native/nativeTestCompile/graalvm-starter-tests' which doesn't exist.

  Reason: An input file was expected to be present but it doesn't exist.

Could somebody explain why it fails and how to make it pass?

Could you please share the platform-tooling-support-tests/build/reports/open-test-report.html file with us?

[djkeh]

I don't know the reason but the file native-image seems not properly created, as its size shows 0B.

Here's the log for nativeTestCompile task:

Looks like there's definitely something wrong with the GraalVM JDK that Gradle downloaded for you. For me locally, native-image is actually a symlink to ../lib/svm/bin/native-image. Maybe it doesn't restore those properly when extracting the archive?

[marcphilipp]

Yep, that's it, apparently:

• Toolchain unpacking doesn't handle symlinks properly gradle/gradle#24583
• The GraalVM JDK cannot be installed correctly due to a problematic design. gradle/gradle#28583

Could you please delete /Users/uno/.gradle/jdks/graalvm_community-21-aarch64-os_x.2 from your disk? I'll make that test optional so it will only be executed when a GraalVM toolchain is present.

[marcphilipp]

I've pushed 80bff12 so the test should now be skipped for you unless you install a GraalVM SDK 21 JDK manually and set the GRAALVM_HOME env var.

Thank you very much @marcphilipp, now every test passes! I didn't check the issues from gradle, and there it was!
