| Summary | 0003170: Auto-bugreporting | ||||
| Description | When UnrealIRCd crashes on windows (in GUI mode only?), consider auto-reporting the crash details to us. Of course, after the user has clicked some kind of 'send report' button. | ||||
| Additional Information | codemastr had this idea years ago Don't know how easy or hard this would be, and if this would actually be a good idea. In general, we know that like 90% of the crashes are not reported to us and people then wonder why an issue still exists 2 years later.... :P | ||||

hmm, i always click cancle on those things, or dont get that msg. I'll test it out |
|
|
bump also consider not just for windows but *NIX as well (if tty/interactive, then ask, otherwise do not ask of course :D) -- on *NIX also check out where the core dumps go now that we changed all the paths.. I may have broken it (the ./unreal backtrace script).. probably did. |
|
|
'./unreal backtrace' is now working again. new directory structure broke it in two ways: 1. core is no longer in the 'root unrealircd directory' 2. the extra subdirectory broke things. eg: 1648263.secure.so... need to symlink that to the right chanmodes/secure.so or usermodes/secure.so I fixed the second issue by adding changing the tmp/*.so format. no-sub-dir-modules are still like ECBE1CEC.m_umode2.so but for instance issecure is FEA69F0B.chanmodes.issecure.so. And then improve the crazy awk script to do the symlink stuff so the backtrace is useable. As for the first issue.. I did a chdir(PERMDATADIR) for now, so it dumps core files in data/.... Hmmmmmmm... not sure what's a better place. tmp could be a place but if someone makes that a writable or even readable.. hmm. OTOH, yeah maybe we should just use tmp..... :) .. and then the cleanup-on-boot thing shouldn't delete the whole of tmp/ but skip *core* :p |
|
|
done, using tmp now. in ./configure we already call it 'private tmp directory' anyway. so it's the users/maintainers fault if they do silly things. |
|
|
so this leaves the auto-report shit.. IOTW: what this issue is actually about.. |
|
|
Initial version (*NIX only): https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/commit/2cb395216af5a2295fd4b3d5cf05219722ad8210 HTTPS instead of HTTP for reporting: https://github.com/unrealircd/unrealircd/commit/fb0662f67cbb9ea24cc04d0ab218eba87f0652db The way it works is that on-boot the unrealircd script runs the unrealircd binary a second time with -R to check if a crash report needs to be generated. If not, it just exits silently. This way all code is in C which can make this decision best. It's also ran in a separate process for safety, so if we crash or hang (reporting is synchronous) it's much less of a problem. Now left: 1) Windows.. is going to be interesting 2) Cleanup code 3) Something with user preferences |
|
|
This is now done. Maybe userpref will be done later. Should be very unusual of course, a crash, so could just ask each time. Just maybe for devs like me & Heero or devs writing 3rd party modules not to be bothered. |
