on running slim rust (and calling wasm with wasm-bindgen) binaries inside OCI containers: common return messages

slim Rust+wasm OCI Containers: common error return messages

This post covers the outcome of a multi-stage Dockerfile for Rust, which handles the app artifact binary to the last layer, discarding the build layer.

High-level container runtime: Podman
Low-level container runtime: crun
Trunk with wasm-bidgen as dependency for a Yew project.

OCI Setup specs:

; podman -v
podman version 4.9.0
; 
; crun -v
crun version 1.14
commit: 667e6ebd4e2442d39512e63215e79d693d0780aa
rundir: /run/user/1000/crun
spec: 1.0.0
+SYSTEMD +SELINUX +APPARMOR +CAP +SECCOMP +EBPF +CRIU +YAJL
;

Two attempts of running without declaring backtrace:

; podman run --rm -it b0ff5e339a75
thread 'main' panicked at /usr/local/cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/js-sys-0.3.69/src/lib.rs:6013:9:
cannot call wasm-bindgen imported functions on non-wasm targets
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
;
;
; podman run --rm -it b0ff5e339a75 -e RUST_BACKTRACE=1
Error: container create failed (no logs from conmon): conmon bytes "": readObjectStart: expect { or n, but found , error found in #0 byte of ...||..., bigger context ...||...

Just pass the environment variable flag "-e" before the image ID:

;
; podman run --rm -it -e=RUST_BACKTRACE=1 b0ff5e339a75
thread 'main' panicked at /usr/local/cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/js-sys-0.3.69/src/lib.rs:6013:9:

stack backtrace:
   0: std::panicking::begin_panic
   1: js_sys::global::get_global_object
   2: std::sys::pal::common::thread_local::fast_local::Key<T>::try_initialize
   3: js_sys::global
   4: web_sys::window
   5: gloo_utils::document
   6: client::main
note: Some details are omitted, run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` for a verbose backtrace.
;

Getting a verbose backtrace:

; podman run --rm -it -e=RUST_BACKTRACE=full b0ff5e339a75
