Native Crash - Mono JIT frame (Unknown File) & cached native crashes & missing symbols

xrix4096 · Feb 6, 2018

Hi,

My app has been running fine for a while but recently I started noticing a large number of crashes caught by the performance reporting, all with the title "Native Crash - Mono JIT frame (Unknown File)". Looking in the player log there is always a massive JSON upload

"Uploading Native Crash Event: {"report_version":1,"event_json":"{\"project_id\""....

... near the start. This happens on every single run of the app, despite there being no obvious signs of crashing. The backtrace in the performance reporting isn't especially useful:

Thread 0 (crashed)
0 Mono Runtime Mono JIT frame
1 libmono.0.dylib mono_jit_runtime_invoke
2 libmono.0.dylib mono_runtime_invoke
3 Scintillatron4096 <symbols missing for uuid: c7688072bd0437d38f8019daecc1b2bd>
.....continues as such

So I've now spent several days trying to figure this out without success. I've now got to the stage where I've taken EVERYTHING out of my project with the exception of a single empty scene - no assets or scripts of any type and it STILL logs that exception and does the upload at the start of the player log. Are these crashes cached in some way so that it's uploading an old crash repeatedly?

Further evidence of caching is that I've now changed my app name to TESTAPP from Scintillatron4096 and built it to a test directory. The stack trace still shows "Scintillatron4096" despite there being no reference to that name in the app any longer and the "Uploading Native Crash Event" shows multiple references both to that old app name and also the old build directory that I was using days ago rather than today. This may be why the symbols are missing in the stack trace as there simply isn't a binary called Scintillatron4096 any longer as it's been renamed to test.

So does anybody know:

a) How to debug from such an anonymous stack trace
b) How a project with nothing but an empty scene can crash anyway
c) How are references to the old app name and old build path appearing in the crash upload JSON?

Been at this for days now and it's driving me nuts!

Cheers

OK after having to go down to Dtrace level to find out what my empty application as been reading to find this stale crash event to upload I found the following files:

/Users/chris/Library/Caches/com.plausiblelabs.crashreporter.data/com.kfunction.scintillatron4096/live_report.plcrash

This was containing a crash from over a day ago that was being constantly uploaded at the start of every session of my (now empty) app.

Surely this must be a bug? It is reporting an exception every time my app launches even though it hasn't actually crashed since yesterday.

Still no idea how to debug the actual "Native Crash - Mono JIT frame (Unknown File)" problem though

@xrix4096 - yes, this sounds like a bug and we're going to investigate.

DanjelRicci · Mar 8, 2018

I'd like to join the party. We just published the OSX version of our game and for the first time ever I got mostly the same error, which is crashing the game. This is apparently happening only on my machine (Macbook Pro late 2013, OSX 10.13.3), and only in the standalone version, nothing like that while running in the editor. Compiled with Unity 2017.3.0p3.
Here's the stack trace from the online performance reporting:

DanjelRicci · Mar 14, 2018

Any news on this? I realized this is happening on OSX regardless of the machine. Still no idea where to look.

EDIT: now that I read again the first post, I too am experiencing the same issue with caching and reporting of previous crashes. Basically the Performance Reporting dashboard of my current project is flooded with errors I am 100% sure I fixed months ago, things coming straight from the very alpha stage of the game; I see crashes on stuff that's very unlikely to have errors at the current state of the project. Sometimes report count will surpass 500.000.

johng_unity · Mar 14, 2018

@DanjelRicci --- specifically regard to the issue you describe about about the reporting of previous crashes, we've identified the cause of that issue and are working on a fix.

DanjelRicci · Mar 19, 2018

We managed to narrow down the crash to a particular line, which worked very much like this:
MyPlayer myPlayer = playerObject.GetComponent<MyPlayer>();

try{

    someVariable = myPlayer.someOtherVariable;

}
This crashed inside the try statement because of myPlayer being null. We solved by checking null on myPlayer with an if statement instead of within a try / catch block (pretty dirty I realize). Annoying that it only crashed on OSX standalone with a very generic error, but I realize this is probably because of something strictly dependent on how the compiler handles this stuff.

Any more info on this John? Cause/ workaround? Mac standalone seems very fragile on 2017.3.1. All fine in editor, almost seems like the standalone mac build isn't catching any errors and just aborting?

Edit: actually, turning off crash reporting seems to prevent the immediate crash, for the time being

johng_unity · Mar 23, 2018

Unfortunately, the only workaround at the current time is to disable Performance Reporting. However, we do have a fix in-progress and will be putting it in a patch release for 2017.3

Sebioff · May 2, 2018

Got an update on the current state of this? Our game has been crashing on macOS for a few months and I only now found this thread. After disabling Performance Reporting everything works fine again.

DanjelRicci · May 4, 2018

Yeah it would be nice to know if the Performance Reporting spam bug has been solved. I don't think I have read that in the recent changelogs, but I may have missed it.

johng_unity · May 4, 2018

Hi @Sebioff and @DanjelRicci --- apologies for the delay. We have made a fix for this and will be getting the fix into a patch of 2018.1 and 2017.4. Unfortunately, I don't know for sure which patches it will be as there are a couple dependencies that we're trying to manage. We'll keep you updated.
