Apologies in advance if I’m not posting this in the right place. I am encountering a peculiar segmentation fault error while attempting to access a Rails 6.0.6 app.
When I execute rails s and try to access the root path on localhost, the number of errors in the console is too numerous to capture here. I have recorded them using rails s &> err.log. In that file I can observe the following errors:
=> Booting Puma

=> Run `rails server --help` for more startup options

The output is very large so I can’t paste it all here. However, it seems like the issue is coming from:
/Users/me/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.8/gems/activerecord-6.0.6/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_pool.rb:337: [BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x000000011026cade
I suspect this has something to do with ActiveRecord / PostgreSQL but I can’t seem to figure out the problem. If I run a Rails console, I can do the following:
2.7.8 :001 > puts "Hello"
Hello
So that’s fine. The issue seems to happen when accessing the database:
User.first # This causes a segfault
After a lot of Googling, I’ve managed to get the app working if I use the following setting in databases.yml:
development:
host: <%= ENV['DATABASE_HOST'] %>
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
database: <%= ENV['DATABASE_NAME'] %>
pool: 5
gssencmode: disable
That gssencmode: disable seems to do the trick. However, it’s not a setting that seems reasonable to keep as I believe it disables the encryption mode used for GSSAPI authentication.
I am running a Homebrew managed postgresql@12 version.
Expected behavior
Should be able to run the Rails server and access the database without any issues
Actual behavior
App segfaults unless I use gssencmode: disable in databases.yml
System configuration
Rails version: 6.0.6 Ruby version: 2.7.8 PostgreSQL version: 12.15 OS: MacOS Ventura 13.4 - MacBook Pro (M1 chip)
