I try to use bear 3.0.20 , but error occur .

wrapper: failed with: gRPC call failed: failed to connect to all addresses; last error: UNKNOWN: Network is unreachable

I also try follow method, but not work

export GRPC_DNS_RESOLVER=native

unset https_proxy;unset http_proxy

Hey @hac425xxx , were there any problem to use the issue template to file the bug report?

• I am asking it, because the OS (and OS version) is really matters how Bear works.
• Also, the way you've invoked Bear does matter too.
• If you can add a bit more logs that helps too. (using the --verbose flag)
• Since the error message contains reference to networking, if you provide details how the network is configured on your machine could help too.

Please consider that this is a project that I am working on my free time. And you are asking for help. Could you put some more effort to communicate clearly and provide relevant details? (Just try to imagine what would you need to know if someone ask your help.)

bear with gcc works, but failed with bitbake.

maybe related to #293 ?

$ bear -- gcc /tmp/a.c -o /tmp/x
$ cat compile_commands.json 
[
  {
    "arguments": [
      "/usr/local/bin/gcc",
      "-c",
      "-o",
      "/tmp/x",
      "/tmp/a.c"
    ],
    "directory": "/home/xd/build/build",
    "file": "/tmp/a.c",
    "output": "/tmp/x"
  }
]

it seems work ~~

bear  --force-wrapper  -- bitbake ccc

does --force-wrapper have a document link and how it works?

[rizsotto]

I am glad to hear that it works. Though it's not clear why, because the both mode (the preload and the wrapper) is using gRPC to report the executions. And the error message you've pasted was about network connection problems.

Anyway, here is a more detailed description how the tool is working. This will answer the question what the --force-wrapper flags does.

[hac425xxx]

sorry, --force-wrapper don't work, the output (compile_commands.json) is empty ~~~

[rizsotto]

That's more understandable, because then the wrapper was not called, and therefore no error message. My bet if it will work, it will work with the preload model. But not sure if this can be done...

The error message suggest to me that bitbake is creating a sandbox where the network is not accessible...

I found that BitBake has an option to explicitly disable network access.

Browsing the BitBake source, I've found an utility function, which disables networking. This is called from the bitbake-worker script in some condition... Could you run bitbake (without Bear) in a verbose mode? And look for this debug level log: Attempting to disable network for?

[hac425xxx]

I try to remove the call to bb.utils.disable_network(uid, gid)

And get another error

I had a similar problem just now. You should really consider to not use localhost but 127.0.0.1 directly, since this makes name resolution irrelevant. See: here and here.

[ChenPi11]

I encontered this bug when generating glibc's compile_commands.json. When I use bear -- make -j8, the bear will failed with the error. But bear -- make will be successful. Although the compile_commands.json is empty.

I'm using x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc with Bear 3.1.4, GCC14.2.0, GNU Make 4.3 in Debian/sid.
