Research direction

Reproduce the in-app browser crash with a WebGPU project or a web app loading huge files on Windows for ARM. Then trace the in-app browser crash handling in Electron; done means the app detects the crash, avoids repeatedly reopening it for that task or project, and informs the user.

Description

app browser bug windows-os
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

newest

What subscription do you have?

pro

What platform is your computer?

Windows for ARM

What issue are you seeing?

I have some projects wich will crash the in app browser. For example if the load huge files or use webgl.
Problem is, your app don't recognize this, and will do it again and again.
I need to find out that the browser crashed.

Somtimes after multiple of this crashes, I also need to reinstall the app (don't know why)

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Create a project wich uses WebGPU, or load huge files into a webapp so it uses much memory

What is the expected behavior?
  • Maybe browser should not crash (don't know if this is possible, cause you use electron and wnat the browser in app)
  • After a crash, you should recognice you crashed, and don't start in app browser for this task/project again.
  • Inform the user?
