Native Crash Issues

Creating and symbolicating local crash reports

VSCode since version 1.46 now supports a new --crash-reporter-directory <absolute-path> option that you can use to produce crash dumps into that folder. Please try this option first:

• close all instances of VSCode
• run code --crash-reporter-directory <absolute-path> from the command line
  • note: use code-insiders for the insiders version if you are using it
• take the steps that lead to the crash
• check for a *.dmp file in that folder
• send the *.dmp file back to us (email, or attach to issue)

If you can reproduce the issue running out of sources:

• Follow the instructions at https://github.com/nornagon/electron-minidump/blob/master/README.md
• Check for the symbolicated trace
