BugSplat

Crash and error reporting built for busy developers.

👋 Introduction

node-minidump-stackwalk is a thin wrapper around the Breakpad minidump_stackwalk utility that allows minidump_stackwalk to be added to your project via npm. This package can be invoked via the node-minidump-stackwalk command-line command, or used as a library by importing minidumpStackwalk.

🏗️ Installation

Install node-minidump-stackwalk as a package dependency.

npm i node-minidump-stackwalk

Or install node-minidump-stackwalk globally as a command-line tool.

npm i -g node-minidump-stackwalk

🧑‍💻 Command

If you installed node-minidump-stackwalk globally you can invoke it in via a terminal window.

node-minidump-stackwalk <minidump-file-path> <symbol-paths> [-p <platform>] [-m] [-s] [-c] [-b] [-v]

The first argument is the path to your minidump file. The second argument is a path or array of paths to search for sym files. Specify a platform with -p <platform>. Valid platforms are darwin, and bullseye. You can also specify the -m, -s, -c, and -b minidump_stackwalk arguments. The -v argument will print stderr to the terminal.

For additional platform support, please open an issue.

📚 Library

Import or require minidumpStackwalk.

import { minidumpStackwalk, minidumpStackwalkSync } from 'node-minidump-stackwalk'

Await a call to minidumpStackwalk, providing it a path to your minidump file, and an array of symbol folder paths, and optionally the platform you're running on as well as options to forward to the minidump_stackwalk executable.

const options: MinidumpStackwalkOptions = {
  machineReadable: true,
  stackContents: false,
  dumpingThreadOnly: false,
  threadBrief: falst
};

await minidumpStackwalk('/path/to/minidump.dmp', ['/path/to/symbols'], 'darwin', options);

You can also call minidumpStackwalkSync to perform the same operation synchronously.

minidumpStackwalkSync('/path/to/minidump.dmp', ['/path/to/symbols'], 'darwin', options);
