Every now and them my extension crashes. I think it has something to do with the Web Database locking but am not sure. When it crashes, it just goes away. Is there any place that Chrome stores a log so I can try and figure out what is making it crash?

When an official build of Chrome crashes, usually the last crash dump is left behind on disk for easier diagnosis. See:

I haven't verified whether you need to check 'Help make Google Chrome better by automatically sending usage statistic and crash reports to Google' in the Options to have it generate that file or whether this works for Extensions crashing (don't see why not) -- but look in the directory listed and see if there is a crash dump file. That's at least a start... If there is no crash dump, check the checkbox and wait for it to crash again.

It looks like that is just Windows only. Do you know where the dump goes on a Mac?

Yes, jrg told me that this is supported on Mac as well. He said:

If breakpad is enabled, look in ~/Library/Breakpad/Chrome_Mac/.

The system crash reporter places things in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/.

You can see an overview of crashes at chrome://crashes , and you can automatically provide more details in a bug report by hitting the "provide additional details" link there. 

More information available here:


Since crash reports can have personal information (list of installed extensions, current url being browsed to in some cases, etc.) the uploaded reports are not public. But if you want to give me the id of a crash report from your system I can look it up and reply with basic information like what the stack trace was, and whether or not it's a known problem that someone is already working on.

Hi Anthony,

I'm encountering a similar issue with my extension, where it will crash on some users machines. However, the user has reported that there is no log of this in the chrome://crashes screen. Do you have any idea how I can go about troubleshooting this crash and lodging a bug report? Because right now I have nothing to go on!

Regards,
Bogdan.
