testserver - travisCI - illegal instruction (core dumped)

[beeekind]

BUG REPORT

1. Log File unavailable (this took place in Travis)

2. Please describe the issue you observed:

• What did you do?

I attempted to start a testserver within a Travis Build but it led to a -1 exit with the output shown here

• What did you expect to see?

I expected the test to pass as it did on my local machine.

• What did you see instead?

The -1 exit code.

RESOLUTION:

On a hunch I was able to resolve the issue by adding the following line at the top of my travis.yml file:

sudo: true

I'm assuming there are constraints in the non-sudo environment that prevented the cockroachdb testserver from running, either way it would be nice to remove the sudo requirement as it does slow down builds.

@mberhault, can this be the avx2 regressions discussed here?#16808 (comment)

I forgot which version the testserver downloads by default.

[bdarnell]

testserver downloads builds from master, not the release: cockroachdb/cockroach-go#19

There's a good chance this was resolved when we turned off SSE4.2 for release builds: #15589. Marking as fixed, but feel free to reopen if it's still a problem.
