Pipelines crash caused by shared memory size change (/dev/shm)

The shared memory size was changed last week from 512mb to 64mb making CI tests using puppeteer/wdio with chrome headless unable to run. (Very very high chance of crash)

To reproduce:

$ df -h /dev/shm

Current output:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on shm 64M 0 64M 0% /dev/shm

Expected output:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on shm 512M 0 512M 0% /dev/shm

We are running CI outside of pipelines until this issue is solved, is there any ETA for a fix ?

I have the same problem and it is pretty annoying. The cypress crashes very often in our pipeline with the following error:

We detected that the Chromium Renderer process just crashed.
This is the equivalent to seeing the 'sad face' when Chrome dies.
This can happen for a number of different reasons:
- You wrote an endless loop and you must fix your own code
- There is a memory leak in Cypress (unlikely but possible)
- You are running Docker (there is an easy fix for this: see link below)
- You are running lots of tests on a memory intense application
- You are running in a memory starved VM environment
- There are problems with your GPU / GPU drivers
- There are browser bugs in Chromium

It seems to be related to the /dev/shm size. I also tried to make a sixe: 2x run but cypress/chrome is still crashing in my pipeline. Not all the times, some times it works, but more often than not it crashes.

Hi @Emmanuel Viala

I can confirm that is indeed a regression. We're working on a fix which should be available in the next day or two. Our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thanks for bring it to our attention.
