Looks like another bot failure (due to a botched path?). I do not mind automation, but could I please not receive these until this is solid enough to be reliable. '^^

Sorry for the spam, @ninjin. If we keep this open it won't create another one. I'll investigate why it keeps failing. I suspect it's intermittent failures of the GH Actions runners.

I got a better error message this time:

but it's still not super informative.

I'm pretty sure that it's getting killed due to OOM issues. Is there any way that we can restrict the number of test runners when invoking nix-build?

[samuela]

(Oddly enough, this exact same automated system has been running on julia_17-bin for months without issue prior to this.)

[7c6f434c]

Well, the previous issue is a weird EOF (hm, OoM could make some sennse if one end of a pipe went away). I am pretty sure the real error is actually above what you quoted in the second run; actually would be compatible with the same EOF error…

[samuela]

Oh interesting, maybe there is something more sinister going on here

Got it. I will just unsubscribe from the issue for now as I am currently a bit bogged down with other work, etc. That way you can debug in peace and you can of course always call on my attention be mentioning me explicitly.
