bench_func returning None for all but the first benchmark

[axman6]

I'm trying to write a benchmark suite for several functions and use BenchmarkSuite to write the results to a json file. I have the following code (irrelevant parts removed):

import pyperf
import decimation_accel as dec
import decimation_accel_opt as opt


results_file = 'decimation.json'

runner = pyperf.Runner()


def main() -> None:

    small = alloc_args(1024)
    small10 = alloc_args(1024, rate=10)
    small100 = alloc_args(1024, rate=100)
    medium = alloc_args(1024 * 10)
    benchmarks: List[pyperf.Benchmark] = []


    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('dec.decimate_minmax(small) all', dec.minmax, *small))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('opt.decimate_minmax(small) all', opt.minmax, *small))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('dec.decimate_minmax(small10) all', dec.minmax, *small10))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('opt.decimate_minmax(small10) all', opt.minmax, *small10))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('dec.decimate_minmax(small100) all', dec.minmax, *small100))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('opt.decimate_minmax(small100) all', opt.minmax, *small100))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('dec.decimate_minmax(medium) all', dec.minmax, *medium))
    benchmarks.append(runner.bench_func('opt.decimate_minmax(medium) all', opt.minmax, *medium))

    print(benchmarks)

    suite = pyperf.BenchmarkSuite(benchmarks)  # filename='decimation.json')

    suite.dump(results_file)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

However if I run this file, I get the following output:

[<Benchmark 'dec.decimate_minmax(small) all' with 1 runs>, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]

    bench = Manager(self).create_bench()

    raise RuntimeError("%s failed with exit code %s"
RuntimeError: <REMOVED>/venv-local/bin/python failed with exit code 1

If I don't put the results in the list, then they all appear to run fine, but then I have no way to collect the results.

I just encountered the exact same issue and I'd like to know if there is something I do wrong or a workaround. I use pyperf 2.9.0
