Where is Google Chrome Crash Dump Located?
I am going Google Chrome, on Windows XP. Sometimes it crashed, and I want to know where the crash dump is located, just for fun.
Solution 1:
There is no longer an 'under the hood' option anymore and hence the above answer is obsolete and no longer of any use. With a newer version of chrome you need to enable crash logs by going to
- settings/privacy
- enabling: Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google.
- After that you can check your crash logs here:
chrome://crashes/
Solution 2:
As far as I know you cannot see crash dumps / logs unless you've started chrome with the
--enable-logging --v=1
(in Linux)
flag. Otherwise the only thing you see will be the crashID.
Please refer to this page for more information regarding chrome and debuging/logging.
Note
Though I'd be a happy person if someone proved me wrong and showed a way for retrieving a crashdump / log based on crashID ( f5bf0cf6f184b9d2 )
Solution 3:
You can get the dmp file and analyze it following these directions: http://www.chromium.org/developers/decoding-crash-dumps
