Problem invoking --bug-report=rr in a docker image. I have the following packages installed in the Debian image:

      Status `~/.julia/environments/v1.6/Project.toml`
  [bcf9a6e7] BugReporting v0.1.3
  [7073ff75] IJulia v1.23.2
  [c3e4b0f8] Pluto v0.12.21

It’s 1.6 RC1 as RC2 is not yet available as a docker image. I get this:

arthur@767b47f0c62f:~$ julia --bug-report=rr

Rr is installed:

arthur@767b47f0c62f:~$ rr --version
rr version 5.4.0

Installing BugReporting seemed to work when run in Dockerfile, but not when I tried it just from the command line. I’ll put the stack trace as a comment as it’s rather long.

The problem is as @Keno put it in Slack that Docker filters unexpected syscalls. You can turn that off with privileged mode.

Running Docker containers is a bad idea, for instance Why A Privileged Container in Docker Is a Bad Idea

So it’s best not to do this.
