v0.18.3 test failure on Alpine

[dermotbradley]

I'm packaging up the cowsql rest fork for Alpine. I've built v0.18.3 and one of the testcases fails:

When building the canonical raft v0.18.0 in the same environment all testcases pass.

Hey, could please you provide the steps to reproduce this?

I can launch an Alpine container with Incus, but I'm not very familiar with Alpine, so if you could provide info about how to setup the build environment after having launched the container, that would help. Thanks.

Here's the Alpine packaging I'm testing: https://github.com/dermotbradley/alpine-misc-notes/tree/main/incus/raft

I'm running "abuild", the Alpine packing tool, inside an Alpine Edge docker container. Basically I'm using something similar to this: https://github.com/andyshinn/docker-alpine-abuild

More info on how Alpine packaging is done here: https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Abuild_and_Helpers

[freeekanayaka]

Do you get the same failure if you just run autoreconf -i; ./configure; make check manually (without running "abuild")?

It would be interesting to also try on an Alpine Edge VM instead of a docker container. I'll try to reproduce it myself as well, but the more info you can provide the easier it will be for me. Thanks.

I testing building in an Alpine VM and did not see the problem, whereas I have been seeing it every time I built via the docker container that I use.

I have patched in the change you raised as #128 and that now resolves the test error when building via Docker.

Thanks!
