[question] emtpy result when read core file

[kevalin]

I use docker container to run Node.js apps. Sometimes, I got many core files, like this core.33067 that It is about 650M size.
So I copy the core files to my pc DebianOS, has same node version v14.16.0.

root@bullseye:/vagrant_data/core-files# llnode node -c core.30066
(lldb) target create "node" --core "core.30066"
Core file '/vagrant_data/core-files/core.30066' (x86_64) was loaded.

(lldb) plugin load '/usr/local/share/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/llnode/llnode.so'
(lldb) settings set prompt '(llnode) '
(llnode) v8 bt
[llnode][LoadConstant ../src/constants.cc:88] Failed to load constant frametype_JavaScriptFrame, default to -1
[llnode][DoExecute ../src/llnode.cc:82] Failed to load pointer from v8 memory
 * thread #1: tid = 30066, 0x00007f44e26619f3, name = 'node', stop reason = signal SIGABRT
  * frame #0: 0x00007f44e26619f3
(llnode) exit

I don't know anyone step is wrong. Do I use same os env to read core file? I don't know.
Could u help me? Thanks.

Hi @kevalin
It seems like you are debugging a crashed docker process rather than the node.js process.
Can you confirm how you are running the docker container to obtain the node.js core dump?

I would expect to see something like the following.
Note the explicit volume mount so that the guest container can save to shared storage:
e.g. docker run --ulimit core=-1 --mount source=coredumps_volume,target=/cores ab3ca583c907 ./node command

And how the the host kernel.core_pattern is configured.
e.g. On the docker host run sysctl -n kernel.core_pattern

Hello @No9

This is my docker host config

[root@xxx-0001 ~]# sysctl -n kernel.core_pattern
core
[root@xxx-0001 ~]# ulimit -a

login in docker container

/app # sysctl -a | grep core
kernel.core_pattern = core
kernel.core_pipe_limit = 0
kernel.core_uses_pid = 1

App directory of docker container has mounted to host volume, so I can read core file on my host.
