javafx_font.dll Error when executing JavaFX tests

[DavidWich]

Describe the bug

When executing JavaFX controller tests with Maven (either specific or through the test lifecycle) I get the following error:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00007ffb116650a6, pid=2984, tid=0x00000000000008c0

JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (8.0_202-b08) (build 1.8.0_202-b08)
Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (25.202-b08 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops)
Problematic frame:
C  [javafx_font.dll+0x50a6]

This happens when a javafx.stage.Stage tries to show() a javafx.scene.Scene .

This occurs in the Amazon Corretto 8 versions u192, u202, u202.08.2 (64 Bit)

This works in the Oracle versions.

To Reproduce

Try to show() a javafx.scene.Scene with a javafx.stage.Stage

Expected behavior

The tests should be executed correctly like Oracle JDK x64: build 1.8.0_192-b12, Oracle JDK x86: build 1.8.0_201-b09

Platform information

OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (x64)
Version: build 1.8.0_192-amazon-corretto-preview-b12 (x64), build 1.8.0_202-b08 (x64) and the new 1.8.202.08.2 (x64)
Maven: apache-maven-3.6.0

Additional context

As I have noticed, this bug also occurs in Azul ZuluFX 1.8.0 u192 (build 1.8.0_192-b01). As this works with the Oracle JDK it may be a bug in both distributions (Corretto and ZuluFX). If this is not related to Corretto I apologize.

This error generates a hs_err_pid.log. If this is needed for further investigations I will post it.

@DavidWich Thanks for the report, we'll look into it further and update this issue with findings.

I created a sample project to help you recreating the issue. In the process of creating it I noticed that this is related to the Maven Surefire Plugin, or rather the execution in headless mode. That's why the error appears through Maven (command line) and not through IDE-Test-Execution (which I noticed as well that this makes a difference).

The sample project is available here:

EDIT: I updated the library versions but it either made no difference or showed different errors.

NOTE: When removing the Text item in GuiForm.fxml (l. 8) there will be no error on test execution.

I've tried this project in IntelliJ Idea, and also didn't reproduce the error. If I understand correctly, this only happened when you run it using the Surefire plugin from command line?

[DavidWich]

Yes, it did. Currently I have to run these kind of tests through an IDE (Eclipse in this case) and skip them in the headless environment.

Hi, Is there a plan to get this fixed in Corretto 8? or any alternate plan get rid of this error? Thanks
