Dear Community,

I'm trying to debug a crash dump file generated by node-webkit 0.8.0-rc1, via running:

minidump_stackwalk 2673053C-EC24-45BD-ADFC-5769BB2D32C1.dmp ~/Downloads/node-webkit-osx-dsym-v0.8.0-rc1

It doesn't appear to be loading the symbol files:

2013-10-23 19:28:18: simple_symbol_supplier.cc:196: INFO: No symbol file at /Users/user/Downloads/node-webkit-osx-dsym-v0.8.0-rc1/node-webkit Framework/235B1883A5CF3C7FAA122D50D91F7FF50/node-webkit Framework.sym

On this help page: http://www.chromium.org/developers/decoding-crash-dumps , the help for Mac OSX points to a corporate internal website: https://wiki.corp.google.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/GetSymbolsForACrash .

Could anyone guide me through the process so that I can see the stack trace?


Best regards,
He Shiming

In the first It's needed to generate the symbol (.sym) file from dSYM on
Mac with 'dump_syms' tool. The dSYM file can be downloaded from links in

https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Crash-dump

Thanks
