INTERNALERROR> SystemError: AST constructor recursion depth mismatch (before=78, after=133) #11724

Summary

We are seeing a very weird error in which coverage runs with html outputs are raising this INTERNALERROR

executed command and options:

pytest --cov app/ --cov-report term-missing --cov-report html:coverage --cov-branch --cov-append -vv

We also cannot reproduce locally, only on CI (semaphore), very strange.

Expected vs actual result

I would expect the coverage not to raise this error. However I am not entirely convinced it is a bug, and not a config issue. Please educate me.

Reproducer

Versions

Output of relevant packages pip list, python --version, pytest --version etc.

pytest==7.4.0
pytest-cov==4.1.0

% python --version
Python 3.11.3

Make sure you include complete output of tox if you use it (it will show versions of various things).

Config

Include your tox.ini, pytest.ini, .coveragerc, setup.cfg or any relevant configuration.

Code

Link to your repository, gist, pastebin or just paste raw code that illustrates the issue.

If you paste raw code make sure you quote it, eg:

def foobar():
    pass

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

coneybeare · 2023-08-10T20:16:00Z

We have isolated it comes from the --cov-report html:coverage as the error is not raised when that option is omitted.

coneybeare · 2023-08-10T22:21:43Z

And it seems to have to do with match_case_lines and code that uses it? We only have one place in this code for that

        match action:
            case foo.CREATED:
                do_something
            case foo.BLAH:
                pass
            case _:
                do_something_else

nedbat · 2023-08-11T01:45:45Z

This is weird. Any chance you can share the actual code? What version of coverage do you have installed? About the CI, can you check the precise versions of Python and the packages you are using?

coneybeare · 2023-08-14T16:39:06Z

even in CI, we run the tests in a container, so should be the same... perhaps semaphore is using something different 🤔 I can't explain it

We have 2 places we use match/case

class FooClassHelper:
    @staticmethod
    async def foo_method(
        action: "MappingAction",
        msg: str = '',
        request_id: str = '',
        mapping_attributes: Optional[MappingAttributes] = None,
        mapping_attributes_array: Optional[list[Union[MappingAttributes, None]]] = None,
        username: str = 'steve',
        **kwargs: Any,
    ) -> None:
       event_mapping_data =  {} # await, response from another method
        match action:
            case MappingAction.CREATED:
                if not mapping_attributes_array:
                    Logger.warning(...)
            case MappingAction.MERGED:
                pass
            case _:
                if not event_mapping_data:
                    Logger.warning(...)

and


@router.post("/{api_version}/foos")
async def create_foo_mapping(
        api_version: ApiVersion,
        request: ApplicationRequest,
        foo_attributes: FooAttributes,
) -> Union[Dict, None]:
    match foo_attributes.foo_type:
        case EntityTypes.FOO:
            return await handle_request(...)

Note to future error googlers: We're seeing this same exception despite not even using pytest-cov. I managed to work around it by telling pytest to use a less-aggressive traceback format: pytest --tb=line gets me shorter output on failures but at least it doesn't hang up in the AST recursion wilderness.

We do have a few match/case statements in our codebase, and we've recently upgraded from Python 3.10 to 3.11.

Nice find, this worked for me as a workaround too

wbloos · 2023-09-22T11:53:53Z

@dpritchett-rebellion should this issue be moved to the main project to get the attention it needs?

I was facing this same error too with PyTest on Python 3.11.7. The exact same PyTest version and test suite on Python versions 3.8, 3.9 & 3.10 did not have this issue. I am using pytest-cov, but disabling it did not seem to help.

For me, adding --tb=native (see documentation) made the error go away and also still means I get callstacks for any failures as opposed to the previously suggested --tb=line.

I spent some time trying to figure out what the actual problem was and trying different combinations, but didn't want to spend too much time.
A few observations I did make though:

--tb=line did not seem to help my situation. It meant that PyTest didn't crash and abort in the middle of my test suite, but it was still encountering a bogus failure with SystemError: AST constructor recursion depth mismatch (before=174, after=210) in the middle of 1 of my tests and hence making it fail.
--tb=native is not creating bogus failures in my tests
Despite running the exact same container with all of the same Python, dependencies, etc. in Docker for Windows (in WLS2 mode) and on Ubuntu, it was only failing in Ubuntu. My git is configured to always check out with LF line endings so in theory this should be identical between WIndows & Linux but there must be something different. I was also not able to reproduce it locally on Windows outside of Docker either, despite also having the exact same Python 3.11.7 & requirements installed.

I encountered this problem today and I'm pretty sure the cause is a bug in the parser of cpython itself (python/cpython#106905), which has been around in that form in python3.11 releases since 3.11.0b4 up to and including 3.11.7.

But this bug has now been fixed though, and indeed, for me, switching from 3.11.7 to a post-3.11.7 build has removed the issue. That bugfix is also listed already in the announcement for the next 3.11 release

Hope this helps!

Zac-HD · 2024-02-17T20:03:03Z

Thank you @brianzi! This does indeed seem to be an upstream CPython bug, which has been fixed and released in 3.11.8.
