      Hi,

      I came across a problem with the use of webdialogs. by browsing on a website, sketchup is running into a bugsplat. This problem only occurs on Win 7 and IE 9 (mac wasn't tested). On other system configurations the problem couldn't be reproduced. The problem is not triggered by plugins, because the crash also happens if I simply create a webdialog in the Ruby console and no plugin is installed. Has anyone had a similar problem with webdialogs before? Is there a useful possibility to debug the webdialog? The bugsplat only said "access violation". (Also strange: sometimes the program stops and the bugsplat isn't created, maybe also "crashed")

      Greetings
      Alex

        On PC the SketchUp webdialog always uses IE.
        Checks its Internet Options settings are not too 'strict' - e.g. it must allow javascript to run.
        What is your ruby code used to create the webdialog ?
        Does it crash immediately it's created, or when you specify content, or 'show' it etc ?

        Have you tried repairing the SketchUp [version?] installation ? ['Programs and Features' Control Panel...]

          What SketchUp version? And is it only with IE9? Not IE10 or 11?
          Did you submit the bugsplats? If so, did you enter any details in the report we can use to look it up?

            all okay, java script runs fine

            dlg = UI::WebDialog.new("Titel", true, "VS_REG", 739, 641, 150, 150, true); dlg.set_url "http://url" dlg.show

            it crashes randomly while browsing on the website .. (sometimes a few seconds, sometimes 1-2minutes)

            It is Sketchup 2014 and it's a completly clean Win 7 installation with IE 9, we could reproduce it with two different computers

            2014.. we used a lot of test computers with different OS and IE .. only Win7 and IE9 caused a bug splat

            up to now, I didn't, but I'll do it in the next minutes

                    Hm. The crash happens when some memory is freed. I need to pass this over to the QA team to see if they can reproduce on a test machine.

                      I've been trying to reproduce this, and so far no luck. I'm on Win 7, IE 9, SU 2014. Running this from the ruby console:

                      dlg = UI::WebDialog.new("Titel", true, "VS_REG", 739, 641, 150, 150, true); dlg.set_url "http://github.com" dlg.show

                      Any other hints or ideas on how to reproduce it?

                      I have thing you could try to do, to see if it helps. Go to:

                      C:\Users<user>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp

                      and delete the session.dat and the cookiejar.xml file. Probably best to save them though, so move them somewhere like your desktop to keep them safe. That way, if we determine it is something in one of those files, we will still have them around to look into.

                      Anyhow, try removing those files and then try your script again and see if it works.

                        I've sended you a private message with a link and login where you can (hopefully) reproduce the bugsplat. I think its a problem with the bunch of java script used on this side, but nevertheless should Sketchup not bugsplat ..

                        I've tried also to move the files away (session.dat wasn't there), but it didn't help.

                          As I understand it SketchUp v2014 makes a cookiejar.xml, while the session.dat file is made in SketchUp pre-v2014 ?

                            I <believe> I have seen the 2 files co-exist in the same folder at the same time. I believe you are correct that the cookiejar.xml is only for 2014. But I think 2014 might also make use of the session.dat. I'm not sure though, I should ask Tyler how that was implemented.

                              I've never seen it 😕 But that doesn't ensure it's never used 😒

                                Hi,

                                Chris, could you reproduce the bugsplat with the sended website in the private message? If you can't, than I also have a video showing the crash, but I think it's more helpful for you if you can reproduce it by yourself.

                                Greetings

                                  Hey ho,

                                  are there any news for this topic? we could reproduce the error on IE 11 in the mean time .. i think there are some random java script errors on the website, but nevertheless this shouldn't cause SketchUp to a bug splat ..

                                  Greetings

                                    Hi Hooch, I responded to your private message a few days ago. I was able to reproduce this, but I am unable to determine what the crash is. I'll log it in our system for an engineer to look at.

                                    Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

                                      the crash does exist.
                                      what is the solution?
