Use this tag to indicate that when an application is run, it reports a runtime error or runtime exception after or during the execution of the application. Use this tag with other tags that indicate programming language being used ([java], [c++], etc.) or for standard utilities or development environments include a tag indicating the application being run ([maven], [visual-studio], [gcc], etc.).
An error that occurs during the execution of a program. In contrast, compile-time errors occur while a program is being compiled. Runtime errors indicate bugs in the program or problems that the designers had anticipated but could do nothing about. For example, running out of memory will often cause a runtime error.
Note that runtime errors differ from bombs or crashes in that you can often recover gracefully from a runtime error.
runtime errors typically provide information about the error such as a stack trace.
When posting a request for help with a runtime error, include a description of what was being done, what behavior was observed, and any stack trace, exception, or other error information. In the case of utilities such as [maven], [ant], or other utilities used with software development, provide a copy of the script being executed as well.
