The failure is consistent at this machine - grinder in same machine - all failed Login to the machine, the core generation was successful, but jdmpview failed to load/parse it.

grinder in 5 different machines passed four machines rhel7x64cudart1 cent7x64-1-10 ub18x64rt1-1 cent7x64-1-7 failed at ubu22x86-rt4-1

Related to an internal infra issue

I tried the build referenced in the description with the core file used in the failing !allclasses test on a Ubuntu 22.04 system: it passes. There must be something peculiar about ubu22x86-rt4-1: I'll try again there.

[keithc-ca]

The test passes on ubu22x86-rt4-1 as well.

I expect this is another one of those problems where it doesn't work on the original machine with all the original libraries available, but works when you try it otherwise.

[pshipton]

Last time to recreate one of these I restored the original JVM to the expected place on the file system. Although there are command line options that may work as well if the JVM is in a different place.

[keithc-ca]

In my first test on ubuntu22, I ran the test in the same way as the build so everything was in the same place as when the core was created: that seems to discount that theory.

[pshipton]

Can we modify the test to get more logging about the failure when it does occur?

[pshipton]

I'm not seeing any problem running the test on ubu22x86-rt4-1 with the latest builds. I wonder if the problem was related to https://github.com/eclipse-openj9/openj9/pull/15734 which was added to the 0.33.1 release. I'll go ahead and close this until the problem is seen again.
