Public bug reported:
[ Impact ]
When a Stack Trace is created by the retrace service we do show the line
numbers, but even if the source is available it may not contain any
version information, making it very hard to figure out what we are
really debugging.
The reports may contain a "StacktraceSource" field, but this is not
filled for multi-thread operations nor exposed in errors.ubuntu.com in
the right way.
[ Test case ]
Given a crash file:
- apport-retrace binary.crash
After this, inspect the crash file (using apport-unpack, or apport-cli
-> View)
The file should contain the `Stacktrace` and `ThreadStacktrace` fields
that include the file being called.
For example:
$ sudo apt install chaos-marmosets
$ seg-fault
$ sudo cp /var/crash/_usr_bin_seg-fault.$(id -u).crash /tmp
$ sudo chown $USER /tmp/_usr_bin_seg-fault.$(id -u).crash
$ apport-retrace /tmp/_usr_bin_seg-fault.$(id -u).crash
$ apport-cli /tmp/_usr_bin_seg-fault.$(id -u).crash
Select "[V]iew"
The fields StacktraceSource, ThreadStacktrace and Stacktrace should all
show the source line that caused the crash to happen
[ Regression Potential ]
As before the sources are always downloaded (if available) unless `--no-
stacktrace-source` is passed, although now the source download happens
before interacting with gdb.
This does not imply much change a part the ordering, as even in case of
download issues, we already were failing without either 1) using the
sources or 2) raising without updating the crash report file.
