Description

New job fail to start with following error in autoinst-log:

From changelog: https://metacpan.org/release/JSON-XS

  • allow_nonref now affects booleans

Jobs worked again after reverting to perl-json-xs 3.01.

It seems to be a bug in JSON-XS-3.02 related to threads: on XS.xs:338 it uses global variable bool_stash and on XS.xs:1987 it sets this variable to zero when a new thread is created.

It may work with the workaround - setting allow_nonref, but I think that the best fix is to replace perl threads with normal fork().

https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/497 is said to fix it but I don't want to decide if that is really true ;-) PR is merged.
