Constant Crash

rorourke · April 1

LINQPad v8.2.4 (Premium)

Had a case this morning where I messed up a paste of a large block of html into a query. It was something like

const string pageContent =
<html><head><title>yada yada</title></head>
<body>
   ... (lots of lines)
<body></html>
"""
""";

Clearly this is bad code. Not expecting it to run. But I didn't expect a crash. The troubling part is it was persisted to an .autosave file before the crash and LINQPad would subsequently crash each time I tried to restart. Had to go in and modify the cached code to get past it.

What was the nature of the crash? Did it report an exception or was the process just terminated?

Process just terminated. Though it did present a dialog asking if I wanted to debug the app or restart. This was the challenge as because the query was bad, it would just cycle into a new crash.
