Debugging access violation on Windows #6121

Closed

Description

  • Version: 4.4.1 32-bit
  • Platform: Windows
  • Subsystem:

I'm hitting a case where something is generating an exit code with "access violation". Is there a flag that I can set in a build and/or command line to force node to crash and not gracefully exit so that I can get a crash dump?

    @daniel-white Do you mean --abort-on-uncaught-exception? (Which doesn't appear to be documented in our CLI docs for some reason...)

    Ah, I think it is a v8 flag.

    @daniel-white On Unix, /cores/ iirc. Not sure about windows.

    For Windows you might check %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WER. Otherwise check the path at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps in the registry.
