I'm experiencing not that random crashes and freezes in Cordova Tools for Visual Studio 2013 CTP3. I've also updated to Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.

Visual Studio has this issues after I debug or open the whole app either to the browser using Apache Ripple or Android emulator.

When I save some file (f.e. a JS file), it crashes - sometimes it crashes without my intervention too -. The error is the well-known generic crash which prompts you to restart or debug the application (Visual Studio).

Do you know any further step I can perform to make this more stable? I know that it's a CTP, but it's impossible to build and application restarting Visual Studio every 2-5 minutes...

I've found this other Q&A Visual Studio 2013 (Cordova Template) after CTP 4 update Crashes frequently, but my case is a fresh upgrade to Update 4 and later I've installed Cordova Tools CTP3.

Go to: Visual Studio 2013 - Tools - Options - Projects and Solutions - Web Project - Use 64 bit version of IIS Express for websites and projects has to be checked if you are using a 64 bit machine.

Source: Visual Studio 2013 crashes and restarts every time I run my test solution

  • I'm going to give this a try! – Matías Fidemraizer Nov 27 '14 at 09:52
  • You've saved my bucket! I was going to buy a new Android to avoid these issues. I believe I'll be able to develop a big part of my mobile app in browser using Ripple thanks to this fix. BTW it seems like my question is a duplicate of your source... I will vote to close it – Matías Fidemraizer Nov 27 '14 at 10:03
  • I thought it solved the issue, but after some hours the issue is still happening :( – Matías Fidemraizer Nov 27 '14 at 17:29

    If this is still occurring, could you please send a dump file to vscordovatools@microsoft.com? 1. Run another instance of VS. 2. Debug | Attach to Process. 3. Locate devenv.exe 4. Pick 'Native + Managed 4.5' for attachment. 5. Debug | Break All. 6. Debug | Save dump. – Avani Jan 08 '15 at 23:04
  • Unfortunately this didnt help me and I am crashing every single time i build. Even on a fresh project. Does anyone have any ideas? – Sealer_05 Jan 16 '15 at 18:36
  • One thing I noticed is that if ripple is running and you try to modify code it freezes. – abdulmenan Jan 17 '15 at 20:29
