Diagnose GWT DMP Plugin crashes on Chrome

[JoseM]

We are having issues testing our application in Dev Mode on the Chrome
browser. Whenever we run our application in Dev Mode we can hardly
use Chrome to test our application because the GWT DMP Plugin crashes
within a few minutes. I can run the same application in Firefox
without the plugin crashing or having so much issues.

Is there a way us to diagnose why the plugin crashes so easily and so
often? When we compile the application and run it in deployed mode it
works fine in Chrome and we don't have so many issues.

[JoseM]

Nobody has any ideas how we can diagnose our issue?

I believe I have a similar problem. I post it here:

I'm having a lot of issues with this too. It will run fine for a number of hours, but often by the end of the day, I can't load up the website because the plugin never even contacts the server. I have to re-start Chrome to get things working again. It is really not ideal.

I've briefly looked at super-dev-mode, but I haven't seen a simple tutorial on how to set it up or use it effectively. I guess that these Chrome plugin issues are the whole reason that super-dev-mode is being worked on.

Try setting your maxPermSize in the VM args section of your launch config (mine is at 384). This keeps my Chrome plugin running all day with no problems on a medium sized project.

OK, I'll give that a shot with:

-XX:MaxPermSize=384m

Thanks a lot.

No luck. Just ran into this again. Restarting Chrome, again, fixed it.

For what it's worth:

I have ran in the same issue when I recently started to work on a medium "sized" laptop.

I have never had (and have) this issue with the same and other projects running on a good desktop.

Hence it seems not to be project but more machine dependent. I suspect memory, but don't know how to verify this.

I have the same issue too, just a less than a minute of testing, the GWT DMP plugin (chrome) will crashed.
