aw snap error in chrome

Does anyone have any suggestions on the aw snap error in chrome?
I have tried all the usual solutions (Virus program checked, chrome profile removed, spyware search, ...)

It only happens on my website (jsp) and after a certain amount of time of inactivity (I have a gut feeling it might be session end, but since it never reposts, this shouldn't be the case?)
No issues on other browsers.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit, Chrome 26.0.1410.43 m.

my next idea is to check up on the javascript stuff...

thanks.

[UPDATE]
The root cause is that chrome appears to have a memory leak (IE does not have this problem)
The weird thing is that memory remains constant until it starts rising after exactly 15 minutes and almost doubles in memory each minute. when it is higher than 1 500 0000 K the "Aw snap" error appears.

Found it after someone mentioned memory leak.

My guess is this is related to either:
1. JQuery
2. JQPlot

(My only timed event in my own javascript was disabled for this test)

I can now search for a more detailed root cause and see for a fix or workaround. Any tips or known issues are always welcome :-)

Not enough information. Can you provide code sample and steps to reproduce the problem?

Hi Sergey. That would be very difficult. I don´t know how to reproduce it. I use my website and there is no problem. If I don´t attend it for a while, chrome suddenly shows the aw snap page. I put breakpoints in the server code, but it´s not getting there. Apparently it looks like a chrome issue, but I would like to find the root cause. Giving code, sure, but I would need to know what part causes the issue, which I don´t know, yet.

Then it would be hard to suggest anything... There is no such thing as miracle.

First things I tried, but to no avail.
thanks anyway.

You'll need to post your relevant code then. If it is sitting idle and then crashes either you have a memory leak or you do have code executing in the background that is crashing.

looking into that know. thanks. Posting relevant code is difficult: I don't yet know what the relevant code is, but I'm searching for it...

Chrome has developer tools. I think you can check memory and other things. It is likely some javascript you have. If you have 3rd party controls look into what they are doing.

found a workaround. You mentioning "memory leak" put me on the right track :-).

Good to hear. Hope it works for you.

Solution 1

I solved it like this:

JavaScript

var isChrome = (window.chrome != null ? true : false);
if(isChrome){
    var current = new Date();
    var timedifference = current.getTime() - autorefreshtimeoutcounter.getTime();
    if(timedifference >= (15*60000)){
       autorefreshtimeoutcounter = new Date();
       //refresh here by doing a postback
    }									//end if
}									//end if

I'm always open for better suggestions as I see this as a workaround, rather than a real solution.
Call me lazy, but I didn't want to start debugging and searching both JQuery and JQPlot libraries for a memory leak.

yuck. Hope that works.

still running without a flaw. I'm not 100% happy with it either, but as I said, I'n not going to start debugging the libraries.

In which part you added this code block? In Page OnLoad event or any where else?

V. 1-Mar-16 8:30am

This has nothing to do with server side events. this is pure javascript code. The page was completely finished. Besides, this question is almost 3 years old, although the code was cleaned up in the meantime, the error never returned.

Nowfal Sharafudeen 1-Mar-16 8:39am

I asked this question because, I am also facing this issue still in Google chrome. Can you suggest any solution? :)

V. 1-Mar-16 8:46am

not like this, there might be a million things going wrong.
The best option is to gather all the info you have an post a new question.

Nowfal Sharafudeen 1-Mar-16 23:44pm

Okay, I cannot post this as a new question.
Anyway thanks for your reply.. :)

var isChrome = (window.chrome != null ? true : false);
You can remove <small>? true : false</small>
<small>var isChrome = window.chrome;</small>
