CrashTestDummy Module
Description
A utility to test different types of crash and exception events.
Accessing the CrashTestDummy Module
To access this module from JavaScript, you would do the following:
var CrashTestDummy = require("ti.crashtestdummy");
The CrashTestDummy variable is a reference to the Module object.
Reference
throwException
Javascript-triggered native exception.
Args
none
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.throwException();
fireInMainThreadUsingTitanium
Javascript-triggered native exception on main thread. This is to invoke another method in the main thread within Titanium's structure.
Args
string- The first argument is the name of the method to call.
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.fireInMainThreadUsingTitanium('throwException');
fireInBackgroundThreadUsingNative
Javascript-triggered native exception on background thread. This is to invoke another method in the main thread within Titanium's structure.
Args
string- The first argument is the name of the method to call.
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.fireInBackgroundThreadUsingNative('throwException');
fireInMainThreadUsingNative
Uncaught native exception.
This is to invoke another method in the main thread within Titanium's structure.
Args
string- The first argument is the name of the method to call.
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.fireInMainThreadUsingNative('throwException');
accessBadMemory
This is to create a hard crash, by way of a segfault when we dereference a bad pointer.
Args
none
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.accessBadMemory();
deadlock
Deadlock in javascript. This is to lock twice, never recovering.
Args
none
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.deadlock();
infiniteLoop
This is to infinite loop, never recovering.
Args
none
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.infiniteLoop();
consumeMemory
Memory bloat.
This is to quickly leak memory, as we enter an infinite loop to fill storage. This is to spur a memory panic and then force kill from the OS.
Args
none
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.consumeMemory();
fireInMainThreadUsingNative
OS-triggered kill in foreground
This is to invoke another method in the main thread within Titanium's structure.
Args
string- The first argument is the name of the method to call.
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.fireInMainThreadUsingNative('deadlock');
fireInBackgroundThreadUsingNative
OS-triggered kill entering background.
This is to invoke another method in the main thread within Titanium's structure.
Args
string- The first argument is the name of the method to call.
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.fireInBackgroundThreadUsingNative('deadlock');
fireInMainThreadUsingTitanium
This is to invoke another method in the main thread within Titanium's structure.
Args
string- The first argument is the name of the method to call.
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.fireInMainThreadUsingTitanium('throwException');
overReleaseMemory
This is to create a hard crash, by way of a segfault when we overrelease memory.
Args
none
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.overReleaseMemory();
addToStorage
This is to slowly leak memory, as storage never stops holding onto its contents.
Args
string- Text to persist
Usage
var ctd = require('ti.crashtestdummy');
ctd.addToStorage("Store me!");
