# crashReporter
|
|
|
|
> Submit crash reports to a remote server.
|
|
|
|
Process: [Main](../tutorial/quick-start.md#main-process), [Renderer](../tutorial/quick-start.md#renderer-process)
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of automatically submitting a crash report to a
|
|
remote server:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
const {crashReporter} = require('electron')
|
|
|
|
crashReporter.start({
|
|
productName: 'YourName',
|
|
companyName: 'YourCompany',
|
|
submitURL: 'https://your-domain.com/url-to-submit',
|
|
autoSubmit: true
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For setting up a server to accept and process crash reports, you can use
|
|
following projects:
|
|
|
|
* [socorro](https://github.com/mozilla/socorro)
|
|
* [mini-breakpad-server](https://github.com/electron/mini-breakpad-server)
|
|
|
|
Crash reports are saved locally in an application-specific temp directory folder.
|
|
For a `productName` of `YourName`, crash reports will be stored in a folder
|
|
named `YourName Crashes` inside the temp directory. You can customize this temp
|
|
directory location for your app by calling the `app.setPath('temp', '/my/custom/temp')`
|
|
API before starting the crash reporter.
|
|
|
|
## Methods
|
|
|
|
The `crash-reporter` module has the following methods:
|
|
|
|
### `crashReporter.start(options)`
|
|
|
|
* `options` Object
|
|
* `companyName` String
|
|
* `submitURL` String - URL that crash reports will be sent to as POST.
|
|
* `productName` String (optional) - Defaults to `app.getName()`.
|
|
* `autoSubmit` Boolean - Send the crash report without user interaction.
|
|
Default is `true`.
|
|
* `ignoreSystemCrashHandler` Boolean - Default is `false`.
|
|
* `extra` Object - An object you can define that will be sent along with the
|
|
report. Only string properties are sent correctly, Nested objects are not
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
You are required to call this method before using other `crashReporter`
|
|
APIs.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** On macOS, Electron uses a new `crashpad` client, which is different
|
|
from `breakpad` on Windows and Linux. To enable the crash collection feature,
|
|
you are required to call the `crashReporter.start` API to initialize `crashpad`
|
|
in the main process and in each renderer process from which you wish to collect
|
|
crash reports.
|
|
|
|
### `crashReporter.getLastCrashReport()`
|
|
|
|
Returns `Object`:
|
|
|
|
* `date` String
|
|
* `ID` Integer
|
|
|
|
Returns the date and ID of the last crash report. If no crash reports have been
|
|
sent or the crash reporter has not been started, `null` is returned.
|
|
|
|
### `crashReporter.getUploadedReports()`
|
|
|
|
Returns `Object[]`:
|
|
|
|
* `date` String
|
|
* `ID` Integer
|
|
|
|
Returns all uploaded crash reports. Each report contains the date and uploaded
|
|
ID.
|
|
|
|
## crash-reporter Payload
|
|
|
|
The crash reporter will send the following data to the `submitURL` as
|
|
a `multipart/form-data` `POST`:
|
|
|
|
* `ver` String - The version of Electron.
|
|
* `platform` String - e.g. 'win32'.
|
|
* `process_type` String - e.g. 'renderer'.
|
|
* `guid` String - e.g. '5e1286fc-da97-479e-918b-6bfb0c3d1c72'
|
|
* `_version` String - The version in `package.json`.
|
|
* `_productName` String - The product name in the `crashReporter` `options`
|
|
object.
|
|
* `prod` String - Name of the underlying product. In this case Electron.
|
|
* `_companyName` String - The company name in the `crashReporter` `options`
|
|
object.
|
|
* `upload_file_minidump` File - The crash report in the format of `minidump`.
|
|
* All level one properties of the `extra` object in the `crashReporter`
|
|
`options` object.
