What steps will reproduce the bug?

When I execute an exe program in the close event of an asynchronous task, sometimes the program throws an exception, but I can't get the exception information. I don't know what caused it. Is my process killed?

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

sometimes

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Should be executed successfully, or fail with information

What do you see instead?

throw an error，and the error msg is null

Hi, thanks for the report. Could you please provide a minimal repro case?

Without it is very hard to debug.

@juanarbol
and the status is 3221225477
the std out is null
the stderr is null

3221225477 = 0xC0000005 (access violation). If this child runs independently and through a sample code without any issues but only crashes within your asynchronous code, a probable cause is the arguments. is there a way you can log all the input what was passed to the child? another probable cause is the environment variables. is there a way you can log all the env variables available to the child in both the cases?

[joy-0909]

@gireeshpunathil It can only be reproduced on some people's devices, and it may not appear in different projects, so it is certain that it is not a problem with arguments. As for the environment variables you mentioned, can you explain it in more detail?

When I have an asynchronous task, A is the main thread A.ts const child=exec("xxx.exe") child.on("close",()=>{ functionA(); }) B.test functionA(){ try{ execSync("xxxxxxxxAnother.exe","args") }catch(err){ err.toString } }

I manually copied the command line into the operating system and it ran successfully and ended correctly, but an exception was thrown in the node child process and there was no information. both err.toString and err.stderr.toString() Sorry, for some reasons I can't provide the source code and the corresponding exe program, this involves some confidential information of our company. But in fact, I just execSynced a program in an asynchronous event. I can't locate the error at present. I would like to ask you for help.

you can print with console.log(process.env) in the parent just before execSync in both passing and failing cases to see if there is a difference. and if so, that may give a clue on the failure

It seems that this exe program does not involve some environmental variables. I also compared it and there is no difference.

if the child is identical in both external factors such as command line input and the environment, then the crash reason should be debugged using a dump debugging tool. it is not easy to help on dump diagnostics through this channel. if you are familiar with the process, then try that. or else, refer to this manual: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/getting-started-with-windbg

thanks，i will have a try.

i find that the nodeProcessAborted function will return this code,right? i don;t know much about node source code,it may caused by another signal? or what,we think it was broken by another program.

[gireeshpunathil]

If I remember, nodeProcessAborted is a test function, not part of core.

      const child = this.triggerAsync(() => {
        eventGenAbc = createAndStartEvent(parentEvent, 'generate merged abc by es2abc (async)', true);
        return childProcess.exec(genAbcCmd, { windowsHide: true });
      });
      child.on('close', (code: any) => {
        if (code === SUCCESS) {
          stopEvent(eventGenAbc, true);
          this.triggerEndSignal();
          this.processAotIfNeeded();
          if(this.projectConfig.isBcObfuscatorEnabled){
            BytecodeObfuscator.getInstance().execute(this.moduleInfos);
          }
          return;
        }
        for (const logData of logDataList) {
          this.logger.printError(logData);
        }
        if (errMsg !== '') {
          this.logger.error(`Error Message: ${errMsg}`);
        }
        const errInfo: LogData = LogDataFactory.newInstance(
          ErrorCode.ETS2BUNDLE_EXTERNAL_ES2ABC_EXECUTION_FAILED,
          ArkTSErrorDescription,
          'Failed to execute es2abc.',
          '',
          ["Please refer to es2abc's error codes."]
        );
        this.logger.printErrorAndExit(errInfo);
      });

  public execute(moduleInfos: Map<String, ModuleInfo>): void {
    this.collectSkipModuleName();
    this.convertAbstractPathToRecordName(moduleInfos);
    this.collectAnnotationWhiteList();
    fs.writeFileSync(this.configPath, JSON.stringify(this.bytecodeObfuscateConfig, null, 2));
    this.generateObfCmd();
    this.createWarnings();
    const outPutABC: string = this.projectConfig.widgetCompile ? WIDGETS_ABC : MODULES_ABC;
    const abcPath = path.join(this.projectConfig.aceModuleBuild, outPutABC);
    //backup abc file
    fs.copyFileSync(abcPath, this.bytecodeObfuscateConfig.abcFilePath);
    const result = childProcess.spawnSync(this.arkConfig.bcObfuscatorPath, this.cmdArgs)
    if (result.status !== 0) {
      const errInfo: LogData = LogDataFactory.newInstanceFromBytecodeObfuscation(result.stderr.toString(), result.status);
      BytecodeObfuscator.instance.logger.printErrorAndExit(errInfo);
    }
    fs.copyFileSync(this.bytecodeObfuscateConfig.obfAbcFilePath, abcPath);
    if (this.projectConfig.widgetCompile) {
      return;
    }
    this.updateAfterObfuscation();
  }

it is our code. and childProcess.spawnSync return 3221225477 .but if we run it by cmd.it can run correctly.when we run a exe by node,th momery was asigned by operating system，so why it occured?
