Trying to build my plugin for linux, the VST version pass pluginval but not the VST3, which crashes there:

Seems to be a JUCE issue.
Anyone experienced the same ?
Also noticed no one seems to pass the VST3/linux test here : Verified by Pluginval | Tracktion
Cheers,
OS:Ubuntu
Compiler:Clang 14 (also tried with GCC)
Juce: 7.0.5 (develop branch)
pluginval from prebuilded binaries on its github which is using JUCE 7.0.2
Do you see the same problem in any of the JUCE demo plugins? At the moment I’m not seeing any crashes with the AudioPluginDemo from JUCE 7.0.5 in the latest Pluginval on Fedora 37/Gnome/X11.
Test with the JUCE example plugins on your system. If they work correctly, the problem is probably not in JUCE.
If those are also broken, let me know the Ubuntu version, windowing system and window-manager/desktop-environment that you’re using so that I can try to reproduce and debug the problem.
Pluginval itself runs every commit on Ubuntu 18.04 against 2 JUCE example plugins and Pamplejuce (my plugin template) runs commits on Ubuntu 22.04 against an empty JUCE plugin. Both are green on pluginval 1.0.2 (pamplejuce is on JUCE develop), but both use Xvfb as a dummy display. It does sound like something xlib-ish is going on here…
Also noticed no one seems to pass the VST3/linux test here
I think this is a symptom of it being rarer to offer plugins on linux (ie, most of those vendors don’t have linux offerings).
@sonosaurus was kind enough to run on his linux system, I hope he chimes in.
Basically they all run in Reaper and AudioPluginHost, but crash pluginval in some window creation methods.
It would be good to know what OS version and desktop environment are used when testing.
I tested with the following setup:
Pluginval built from its develop branch, using JUCE’s develop branch
AudioPluginDemo.vst3 built from JUCE’s develop branch
Test strictness level 10, multiple repetitions
Fedora 38 x86_64 with Gnome 44.3, using both X11 and Wayland
I don’t see any crashes in this case.
Looking at the crash log, my best guess is that display or windowHandleXContext are ‘dangling’, but without being able to repro the issue I can’t be confident in this diagnosis or in a potential fix.
