Do you know what would cause this exception? I see it sporadically and occasionally get reports of people encountering it in ReactJS.NET

An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in MsieJavaScriptEngine.dll

Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Hello, Daniel15!

You use the EmbedHostObject and EmbedHostType methods?

Taritsyn commented

Which version of the MsieJavaScriptEngine causes this error?

Daniel15 commented

I'm not using EmbedHostObject or EmbedHostType. This was just happening on a regular CallFunction method call.

I'm using JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Msie 1.5.0 with MsieJavaScriptEngine 1.7.0.

I haven't yet had time to try and get a standalone repro case so I'm not sure exactly what's causing it, sorry :( I'm seeing it when running React.Samples.Mvc6 from ReactJS.NET.

Taritsyn commented

I faced similar errors when working on the LibSass Host for .NET project. Such errors usually occur, when from the unmanaged code is access to member of the managed object, that has been garbage-collected. But since you don't use the EmbedHostObject and EmbedHostType methods, I can not understand how this happens.

Taritsyn commented

This error occurred when working with ASP.NET 5 RC 1?

SimonCropp commented

@Daniel15 just to be clear. You see this when debugging in VS? And it is not when u have "break on all exceptions" turned on. Does it ever happen on the first debug after starting VS, ie before u have done a stop and start again? I am just ruling out a couple of theories

Daniel15 commented

I've only seen it while working with ASP.NET 5 RC1 and RC2, but I haven't verified that it doesn't occur in other scenarios too. Someone else noticed the same thing when upgrading ReactJS.NET from ASP.NET 5 RC1 to RC2: reactjs/React.NET#268

You see this when debugging in VS?

Yes

Does it ever happen on the first debug after starting VS

I see it as soon as I start my test project. It sometimes runs fine after hitting this exception though (ie. future page loads are fine).

If I get some free time, I'll try to narrow down the cause and see if I can figure out exactly what is causing it. Help is appreciated though :)

Taritsyn commented

This all looks like a errors in garbage collector of DotNet CLI.

defcon84 commented

Is there any information / progress on this?

Taritsyn commented

In this week I will begin migration of the JavaScript Engine Switcher and the MSIE JavaScript Engine to .NET Core.

It is possible, that this problem will solve itself in process of migration.

defcon84 commented

It might have something to do with this: microsoft/Chakra-Samples#4

Taritsyn commented

Try upgrade to version 1.7.2.

defcon84 commented

The issue persists with 1.7.2.

Taritsyn commented

Then you need to wait for release of version 2.0. I will begin to develop a new version after release of first alpha of the JavaScript Engine Switcher version 2.0.

I've just encountered this error as I'm working through this tutorial my first ReactJS.Net project. The full error I see is:

System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in MsieJavaScriptEngine.dll
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Taritsyn commented

@jamsoft What version of ASP.NET you use?

Taritsyn commented

Try upgrade to version 2.0.2.

jpsingleton commented

This seems to be an issue with .NET Core, rather than ASP.NET Core. I've written more here: reactjs/React.NET#358 (comment).

Taritsyn commented

Has anyone is missing this error after updating to version 2.0.2?

lhmiranda commented

I was having the same issue while implementing server side rendering using ReactJS.net with ASP.NET Core (following the official tutorial). I solved the problem by adding MsieJavaScriptEngine 2.1.0 to my project.

Taritsyn commented

Hello, LHMiranda!

Thanks for information! Now I can close this issue.
