VSCode since version 1.46 now supports a new --crash-reporter-directory <absolute-path> option that you can use to produce crash dumps into that folder. Please try this option first:
- close all instances of VSCode
- run
code --crash-reporter-directory <absolute-path>from the command line- note: use
code-insidersfor the insiders version if you are using it
- note: use
- take the steps that lead to the crash
- check for a
*.dmpfile in that folder - send the
*.dmpfile back to us (email, or attach to issue)
If you can reproduce the issue running out of sources:
- Follow the instructions at https://github.com/nornagon/electron-minidump/blob/master/README.md
- Check for the symbolicated trace
