From 21e2b3ba006073a10f98a0f742a51d1c185dc53b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Adri=C3=A0=20Masip?= Date: Wed, 27 May 2026 12:22:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(ci): bullet-proof ALSA/RtMidi crash on headless runners MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Two-layer defence so test_mtc_tick_source never aborts in CI: 1. tests.yml — load snd-seq + snd-seq-dummy kernel modules before running CTest. This creates /dev/snd/seq so RtMidiIn initialises normally and returns 0/virtual ports; no exception is ever raised. 2. MtcTickSource::start() — add a Linux-only early-return when /dev/snd/seq is absent (access(2) check) before touching RtMidi. This avoids a subtle RTTI mismatch: libgradient_motion.a carries a weak typeinfo copy of RtMidiError that can shadow librtmidi.so's strong copy, causing catch(const RtMidiError&) to silently miss the exception. Also widen the fallback catch to (...) for safety. Note: osc_latency.txt results updated.

Add || true so the step never fails; the code-level access("/dev/snd/seq") guard already handles the no-ALSA path cleanly.
