Runtime error: exited workflow with code 139

Workflows

While debugging something I got this error message in the workflow logs:

Runtime error: exited workflow with code 139

Googling it I saw:

"When a container exits with status code 139, it's because it received a SIGSEGV signal. The operating system terminated the container's process to guard against a memory integrity violation. It's important to investigate what's causing the segmentation errors if your containers are terminating with code 139."

As I had been editing a loop over an array I figured I must have screwed up and I wrote some guard code around the subscript on the last iteration and proceeded to try again w/o thinking much of it. And my next test worked so I figured that was it.

Later on I was looking at the logs for a different reason and I saw it again. This time in a different location. However the code is running to completion too and otherwise working.

I have no idea now if this message has been showing up for some time and I've just ignored it. The run history is showing a red X for everything....but nothing unusual about that. And you click into it and see that the webhookreturn is green. Again nothing too unusual about these conflicting signals....

Searching in https://community.retool.com/ I don't find anything reporting on this error.

I see the IDE "expand" button to open up editing Javascript in a bigger window has disappeared. So I suppose a new build got pushed...

I'm having the same issue

Our team is investigating these errors! If anyone can share the specific day/time that the exited workflow with code 139 error came in, that would be helpful

Here's one! Hope that helps!

Hello,
I'm seeing this error as well. Has there been any update on how to avoid this error?

I am attempting to read a ~3 MB csv file before doing an update operation to the a retool db.
The workflow works with no issues a smaller test file.
Ultimately I need to be able to run with much larger files (> 30 MB)

Hi @Mike_Simmons thanks for checking in! It looks like our team is still investigating this error :disappointed:, but I'll add an internal update noting that we have another example of it.

I'll reach back out here with any updates that I get internally

Hi @Tess I believe I'm having a similar issue here Workflow - Runtime error: exited workflow with code 139, any workarounds or updates on this one?

Hi @Kovon Thanks for checking in! Unfortunately, I don't have any news on a fix yet :disappointed:

Since you mentioned it is working for smaller sets of data, could you loop through the data in smaller batches?

I programmed an error into my Javascript Code Block in a Workflow. That logic error of mine caused an infinite loop, and this code 139 error message. When I fixed my logic and the infinite loop, everything went back to functioning correctly

Thanks for reporting this! Will update if I hear anything further internally, but I'm glad you were able to move forward

Any Update on this one? I start to get the same error just from today, and I didn't change any in workflow.
