Collecting crash dumps

DotNetBrowser runs Chromium in a separate native process. An error in the Chromium engine can lead to unexpected process termination. When this happens, Chromium generates a crash dump file with the debug information.

If Chromium process is unexpectedly terminated, and you received the Engine.Disposed event with non-zero exit code, submit a ticket and send us the generated crash dump file.

Where to find crash dump files

When one of the Chromium processes crashes, DotNetBrowser generates a crash dump file. The location of the dump file depends on the platform:

• Windows: %appdata%\DotNetBrowser\dotnetbrowser.dmp.dir
• Linux: $HOME/.config/DotNetBrowser/dotnetbrowser.dmp.dir
• macOS: $HOME/.config/DotNetBrowser/dotnetbrowser.dmp.dir

To change the default directory, use the EngineOptions.CrashDumpDirectory property:

EngineOptions.CrashDumpDirectory = "C:\\DotNetBrowser\\crash-dumps";

EngineOptions.CrashDumpDirectory = "C:\DotNetBrowser\crash-dumps"
