Segfault during dart test/run

[kingwill101]

Running dart test for this repo completes successfully, prints “All tests passed!”, and then the Dart VM segfaults during process shutdown. Running each test file in its own dart test process seems to avoids the crash.

This looks like a native teardown/finalizer issue rather than a Dart exception.

Environment

• OS: Linux x64
• Dart SDK: 3.10.4 (stable) (Tue Dec 9 00:01:55 2025 -0800)
• Packages:
  • ormed_sqlite: ^0.1.0-dev+6
  • sqlite3: ^3.1.1
• Project: local CLI tool using SQLite via ormed/ormed_sqlite.

Reproduction

dart pub get
dart test

Expected

dart test exits cleanly with exit code 0 after all tests pass.

Actual

dart test reports all tests passing, then crashes during process shutdown:

00:07 +56: All tests passed!

Previously i encountered this issue consistently when i run certain scripts via dart run. only after opting to compile first dart build cli did I stop getting these

here is a link to a action that fails because of the same issue

Interestingly, I can't reproduce the issue on my machine on Arch Linux but I can reproduce this under Ubuntu.

I was able to come up with a fairly minimal repro for this though, see dart-lang/native#2921. So I'm pretty certain that this is a Dart issue and not something coming from this package.

is there any quick workaround? i have the same issue on fedora 43 (Kernel: Linux 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64)
flutter v3.35.6 & dart v3.9.2

In ci i opted to run via a dart script which seems to work for now

apologize, my issue was that i was loading sqlcipher like this

if (Platform.isLinux || Platform.isAndroid) {
    try {
      return DynamicLibrary.open('libsqlcipher.so');
    } catch (_) {
      if (Platform.isAndroid) {
        final appIdAsBytes = File('/proc/self/cmdline').readAsBytesSync();

        // app id ends with the first \0 character in here.
        final endOfAppId = math.max(appIdAsBytes.indexOf(0), 0);
        final appId = String.fromCharCodes(appIdAsBytes.sublist(0, endOfAppId));

        return DynamicLibrary.open('/data/data/$appId/lib/libsqlcipher.so');
      }
    }
  }

which works for android but not linux, now i let it fallback to _defaultOpen() in

sqlite3.dart/sqlite3/lib/src/ffi/load_library.dart

Line 32 in 9d2d084

DynamicLibrary _defaultOpen() {

(which already loads compiled libsqlcipher_flutter_libs_plugin.so)

sorry for the inconvenience!
