Current behavior

Failure of ColibriThreadingTest.testColibriMultiThreading on top-of-tree

Expected Behavior

mvn install -Dassembly.skipAssembly=false should pass

Possible Solution

Debugging in progress

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/jitsi/jicofo ; cd jicofo ; mvn install -Dassembly.skipAssembly=false

Environment details

Linux p006n04 3.10.0-1127.18.2.el7.ppc64le #1 SMP Mon Jul 20 22:39:41 UTC 2020 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.8 (Maipo)

Depending on what you’re looking to do, you could also look at disabling SCTP entirely in your deployment (we don’t use it anymore and use websockets instead for that channel). That would skip the need for compiling the native lib.

[bbaldino]

so this seems to be causing the issues

SCTP JNI load: Linux OS detected Exception in thread “Smack-Single Threaded Executor 0 (4)” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/nativeutils624151876038372/libjnisctp.so: /tmp/nativeutils624151876038372/libjnisctp.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (Possible cause: can’t load AMD 64-bit .so on a Power PC 64 LE-bit platform)

I am trying to track down the point from which this is fetched / installed and how to handle it

Ah, nice find, yeah this would do it. We don’t have access to all platforms, so we only have the native lib for jitsi-sctp for some of them. You’d have to do a build of the jitsi-sctp lib for your platform and open a PR for it.
