> If you're seeing "free(): invalid pointer" when running on Ubuntu x86_64, a valid workaround is downgrading Node.js to v20.11.1
Description
See for more information https://github.com/realm/realm-core/issues/7604.
The coverage tests started crashing around March 26th, by the release of Node.js v20.12.0.
Here's an example of a failing run: https://github.com/realm/realm-js/actions/runs/8552406490/job/23433443919?pr=6587
There seem to be two issues:
- The crash itself, which originates from Core (see #7604)
- The npm run ci:coverage process exits cleanly, which is unexpected from a crash.
I've reproduced the crash on these Realm JS commits:
- 2796745c674732bdfc45d460924c6dfefc84c720 (Realm Core 14.5.1)
- e15db6016513ac37996286abde4c44a14e98268c (Realm Core 13.26.0)
- 89687764c65f17b0a43b6a20d80a07be8063b0ce (Realm Core 13.25.1)
- 42651be546db8ea6830e9da30a11673c0bfce8c8 (Realm Core 13.25.0)
