@Maoni0 It looks like this error is impacting Runtime only. Is this an infra failure or a failure specific to Runtime tests?

Added this to the 9.0.0 milestone because of the frequency

adamsitnik · 2024-07-22T14:48:48Z

Triage:

the provided glob matched errors from two independent tests so we are most likely dealing with two different issues (but the owners are the same for both so I am not creating another issue right now):
- System.IO.Pipes.Tests.NamedPipeTest_CurrentUserOnly_Unix.Connection_UnderDifferentUsers_BehavesAsExpected
- System.Diagnostics.Tests.ProcessStartInfoTests.StartInfo_NotepadWithContent_withArgumentList
both reproduce frequently enough to be addressed in 9.0

StartInfo_NotepadWithContent_withArgumentList

StartInfo_NotepadWithContent_withArgumentList is not the only S.D.P test that starts notepad, but it's the only one that fails.

The difference is that it uses a different property to set the arguments:

runtime/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.Process/tests/ProcessStartInfoTests.cs

Line 1337 in 80ffac5

info.ArgumentList.Add(tempFile);

runtime/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.Process/tests/ProcessStartInfoTests.cs

Line 1101 in 80ffac5

Arguments = tempFile,

But both properties are later mapped to a string:

runtime/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.Process/src/System/Diagnostics/Process.Win32.cs

Line 50 in 87a32e7

string arguments = startInfo.BuildArguments();

and the same sys-call is being performed:

https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/87a32e758551f4f72c7a25245dc932c0bcb2c6ad/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.Process/src/System/Diagnostics/Process.Win32.cs#L156C56-L156C71

So in theory, both should be equally stable.

When searching for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED + ShellExecuteEx I've found https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20101118-00/?p=12253, but we are already handling STA properly:

runtime/src/libraries/System.Diagnostics.Process/src/System/Diagnostics/Process.Win32.cs

Lines 169 to 183 in 87a32e7

    
           if (Thread.CurrentThread.GetApartmentState() != ApartmentState.STA) 
        
           { 
        
               ThreadStart threadStart = new ThreadStart(ShellExecuteFunction); 
        
               Thread executionThread = new Thread(threadStart) 
        
               { 
        
                   IsBackground = true, 
        
                   Name = ".NET Process STA" 
        
               }; 
        
               executionThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA); 
        
               executionThread.Start(); 
        
               executionThread.Join(); 
        
           } 
        
           else 
        
           { 
        
               ShellExecuteFunction();

It's going to require further triage.

jeffhandley · 2024-08-06T18:48:55Z

We can defer this out of 9.0.0. It does have a notable hit count, but it's not new. I moved it to Future.
