LINQPad - Unhandled Thread Exception

hopphopp
edited April 2018
From time to time, when I left linqpad idle, I'm presented with several windows saying: 
LINQPad - Unhandled Thread Exception:
An exception has been thrown on a user-create thread.
System.NullreferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I'd like to solve my issue, but the information about the crash is too vague.

Right now I don't know how to reproduce it, but I'm sure, my code is not running at the moment of crash.
Is there any debug info or anything I can provide ?

I have several other 3rd party Data Context Providers installed: 
CSV Context Driver
PostreSQL (LINQ to DB)
IQ
Linq2Azure
I didn't try to uninstall one of these and test ...
I think I have this issue more than half a year (not sure, but quite a long time), so it crosses several LINQPad versions.

    Go to %localappdata%\linqpad\logs. You should find more details written to the log.txt file. If the problem is not self-evident, post the details here.

    The exceptions that you've posted don't have a stack trace, which is very unusual. Can you confirm that there's no copy-and-paste error?

  • hopphopp
    Yes, that's correct. No copy paste error.

    This is dump of the log.txt

    Hi Joe,
    I've got another one.

    Linqpad Crashed with this exception: 
    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
    Whole log. txt can be found here:
    https://gist.github.com/hopp/052de2980f56dea021768113369c7b76

    I think those "normal" exceptions with stack traces are valid.
    I made some stupid huge queries and tested our internal nuget server.

    What I've done recently is, that I worked remotely via RDP.
    But I don't have this tested yet.

    I have been having the same error for about a year across LinqPad with the same exact logged message. Usually it happens when I resume from sleep or from idle. The linqpad window has that exact same message posted. It often doesn't even make the appdata logs. This is really a hassle

    I take it you haven't disabled process isolation? (You can check by ensuring that after running a query, a message appears at the right of the status bar indicating the process ID "PID=n").

  • hopphopp
    Yes, I can confirm, that there is PID=number in the lower right corner after running query.
    Also in Task Manager I can see
    LINQPad 5
    and as many YourLINQPad Query processes (with process name LINQPad.UserQuery.exe)
    as I have opened queries.

    Same error happening here. I am using the 5.31.00 AnyCPU release.

    5.31.00(AnyCPU) 2018-07-18T11:46:09.2778061-04:00 Thread exception - NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    That repeats many times each time it occurs and I end up with a report error dialog for each one.

    Good news, though: it always successfully recovers my queries!

    Was there any progress on the above issues? Unsure if related, but I got the following NullReferenceException that crashed LinqPad overnight and ended up in the Log. Unlike the above, there is a trace leading to LINQPad.Program.Run. The machine was running LinqPad 5.36.03.

    The above issues were fixed in 5.33. The stack trace for the error that you just reported indicates something different - the NRE looks like it was thrown during the shutdown phase, possibly after some critical error.

    I think you are right that this was a secondary error. Running LinqPad using legacycorruptedstateexceptionspolicy = true, a dialogue box appeared (screenshot attached) during a long-running query (which continued running) to show a NullReferenceException. No stack trace.

    It was only when I closed the dialogue box that LinqPad crashed. I found the NullReferenceException I posted above in the log and assumed it was the same that had been displayed in the dialogue box, however in retrospect they're probably two distinct errors.

    In that case the original error is probably that FileSystemWatcher one that we've previously discussed over support.
