chrome.exe disappeared after crash

[Hassan Iqbal]

Hi,

I compiled chromium successfully and was using it. After that, I made some additions in the third_party\webrtc_override\rtc_base\logging.cc. It compiled successfully. Chromium was launched successfully and browsing was also fine. Everything was fine and suddenly it crashed. When I ran "out\Default\chrome.exe" to launch it I got the following error.

PS C:\chromium\src> out\Default\chrome.exe

out\Default\chrome.exe : The module 'out' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module out'.

At line:1 char:1

+ out\Default\chrome.exe

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (out\Default\chrome.exe:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoLoadModule

The chome.exe file in out\Default is simply gone. 

The next step I took was to compile using "autoninja -C out\Default chrome". It also failed with following error.

PS C:\chromium\src> autoninja -C out\Default chrome

"C:\depot_tools\ninja.exe" -C out\Default chrome -j 10

ninja: Entering directory `out\Default'

Please, it would be amazing, if anyone can tell way to fix this issue without having the need to repeat the whole day long setup process. Thanks.

Did you disable your antivirus for the Chromium source and output folders/tree? It might be flagging chrome.exe as a threat (since it probably does not match any Google Chrome signature) and it is quarantining it.

(Disabling the antivirus might also make the build faster)

I don't have antivirus. Yet, it crashed.

However, I have disable windows defender and recompiled the chromium. So far it is working. If the issue occurs again, I will share the error in this thread.

Thanks.

Windows Defender is an antivirus. :)

Hello Hassan,

This happened to me too. It was Windows Defender who had crashed the
browser and deleted the chrome.exe. I can't remember the details, but I
managed to add an exception for Chromium and keep working with Defender
enabled. I think I went to the Windows Defender reports and there was an
option to add an exception there.

Best,

Hi Jacobo,

Thank you for confirming.  

Yes, windows defender is causing this issue. Ever since I disabled it, chromium is working fine.

However, I will also try adding an exception for chromium and enable defender.

Thanks.
