Description

After using WebView2 for an applications with high quality standards, I'm sure that Microsoft could work to improve on the following:

  1. better if WebView2 browser process creates a dump for every crash, instead of just reporting a “ProcessFailed” event. The “ProcessFailed” event should also contain more relevant details that could help on fixing. A recovery after a crash is a “no go” for us, we can just crash our application.
  2. better if the WebView2 have a flag to enable a “debug” logging (add logging hook for WebView2), so that we could understand the possible reasons for a crash, or do some improvements on our side based on how the WebView2 handles different situations.
  3. better documentation and availability of the “.pdb” files needed for the WebView2. Path to PDBs and a “how to”. On an application crash dump, the .pdb's for WebView2 couldn' be retrieved.
  4. better documentation needed for threading regarding browser calls, javascript interaction & events.
