browserStackLocal.stop() hangs inside Docker

[nickslavsky]

I'm having an issue with the above browserStackLocal.stop() method when running inside a Docker container.

I'm using the latest package version

com.browserstack
browserstack-local-java
1.0.2

I have tried the following combinations inside my Dockerfile (using a workaround from similar issue with browserstack-local-nodejs) to no avail:

• CMD ["java", "-cp", "target/.jar", "org.testng.TestNG", "testng.xml"]
• CMD ["/bin/bash", "-c", "set -e && java -cp .jar org.testng.TestNG testng.xml"]

the only thing works is commenting the browserStackLocal.stop() call.
Can anyone look into this? Is there a workaround that might help?

Proof. When I connect to this running container, I see this:

# ps -eo pid,ppid,state,cmd | awk '$3=="Z"'
   63     1 Z [BrowserStackLoc] <defunct>

Hi @nickslavsky , @thibaut-sticky, This is issue with our BrowserstackLocal binary when running inside docker. we are working on a fix for this which will be released soon, and till then you can try a workaround mentioned in here

@nickslavsky @thibaut-sticky , you can use the following workaround for this until we fix this issue

Add following lines in the starting of your Dockerfile

# Add Tini ENV TINI_VERSION v0.14.0 ADD https://github.com/krallin/tini/releases/download/${TINI_VERSION}/tini /tini RUN chmod +x /tini ENTRYPOINT ["/tini", "--"]

You can refer this link for sample docker file.

Hi @raghuhit @mohitmun any update on a potential fix(excluding the workaround) for this issue ?

@kristianadidas We’re currently re-evaluating our BrowserStack local experience inside Docker, please use the workaround for now. We will have an update by June.
