Chrome dev tools crashing when debugging JS












10














Been googling around a bit for the last week or two and haven't come up with any leads.



I believe this started ever since the latest major chrome web browser update, from 68 to 69. (currently on version 69.0.3497.100 )



Basically, when I'm using the chrome dev tools and debugging some javascript, the browser crashes when I begin typing a variable name into the console. I'll get a character or two in and then bam, the whole thing crashes.



dev tools crash warning



I'll close the browser, reopen it and still crashes immediately when typing in the console. Sometimes there are a few hours in between episodes, but this has been a persistent issue for too long and is severely impacting my ability as a developer.



Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I've been hitting the same issue on Chrome 69. After doing some digging, I think this bug is related: bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=729826

  • That does look related. I looked a bit for answers, but didn't find anything useful. I've been so busy with work I just switched to firefox's dev tools. They have their own issues, but at least it's not crashing dozens of times during my workday. Their HTML pane is a bit nicer too

  • I also have issues with Chrome 69 & DevTools "quitting" when stepping through code. Using React/Redux stack. Had no issues in Chrome 68. Tried uninstalling React/Redux developer extensions, but would still crash without them installed.

As pointed out on this Reddit post: Google Chrome 69 Issues, that particular version was riddled with bugs. One website, quoting here from the same reddit thread, titled their article as "Atrocious performance - Google Chrome 69".



While this is not a solution, the easiest thing you can do is update to the latest version. (70.0.3538.77, at the time of writing.)
