R# causing VS2017 to crash

Hello Richard!

Thank you for the feedback.

In case of crashes we ask for WinDBG dumps - https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206230464-How-to-collect-WinDBG-dump-for-VS-ReSharper-crash-

Could you please try collecting it during working on this project and send it to us.

Thank you.

"If you install the WDK, you will not be able to develop modern applications"

No thanks. Perhaps you could suggest a way of debugging this problem that doesn't break my computer?

Hello Richard!

Could you please try installing Windows SDK instead of Windows WDK? 

Thank you.

OK, I've just encountered another VS2017 hang which I believe was caused by R#.

I followed the instructions in the post you linked to. WinDbg produced NO output log file. There is nothing to send to you.

Any other suggestions?

Hello Richard!

Thank you for the reply.

Could you please run Visual Studio with the following command line: 'devenv /ReSharper.LogFile C:\resharper_log.txt /ReSharper.LogLevel Verbose', reproduce the crash and send us a corresponding 'resharper_log.txt' file. You can do it privately via 'Submit a request' form.

Thank you.

Hello Richard!

One more option: adding the following to your registry to create a crash dump on each crash of Visual Studio automatically;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\devenv.exe]
"DumpFolder"="C:\CrashDumps"
"DumpCount"=dword:00000010
"DumpType"=dword:00000002

In that case, the dumps will be collected automatically in "C:\CrashDumps". You can upload it to our FTP server (https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207635255-Uploading-Large-Files-for-JetBrains-Support-Team) or share it using any cloud services like DropBox, Google Disk.

Thank you.

Thanks. That's probably a better option, since the problem is intermittent, and I can't reproduce it on demand. 🙂
