PhantomJS crashes #11706

muktaa · 2013-10-25T06:53:41Z

Hi,
I am trying to use phantomjs to work with images (canvas). But phantomjs sometimes give out of memory error and sometimes crashes. I want to send you a couple of dmp files, please let me know where I can email you, github does not support attachment of dmp files.
Please let me know the issue/fix soon.
Awaiting your prompt reply.
Thanks,
Mukta.

On Linux, I cannot find the dump file. It is not present in /tmp path.
On Windows, I have the dump file, but I see you dont have support to convert the dmp into stack trace.

ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump waitpid failed:No child processes
PhantomJS has crashed. Please read the crash reporting guide at https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/wiki/Crash-Reporting and file a bug report at https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/new with the crash dump file attached: /tmp/555e7040-fa64-9932-77b8d9d6-4404a6f5.dmp

+1 no point in listing a path to a dump file on linux when the file itself is empty

Same bug Ubuntu 13.10 & PhantomJS 1.9.7

dcherman · 2014-06-30T04:42:40Z

Just encountered this on Raspbian / Debian Wheezy w/ PhantomJS 1.10.0 ( git )

I work on a mac and it turns out fine local, on my ubuntu server phantom crashes. I am essentially creating a screenshot of a webpage

a1Gupta · 2015-04-04T17:48:16Z

Same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 & PhantomJS 1.9.7 . Is it corrected in PhantomJS 2.0 ?

Batistleman · 2015-05-12T20:28:27Z

I'm having the same problem, any updates on this?

cmdrkeene · 2015-10-29T14:59:23Z

+1 same issue

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-18T23:05:30Z

+1 and only on Debian 8 fetching https://uniq.site , which is fetched without crashing on Mac OSX
I've tested multiple other websites with canvas/SVG - all of them is fetched fine.

And it crashes right on page.open(), without a chance to log it status.
No crash report is created (I've checked /tmp):

PhantomJS has crashed. Please read the bug reporting guide at
<http://phantomjs.org/bug-reporting.html> and file a bug report.

Also, update from v2.0.0 to v2.1.1 - doesn't helped with this issue.

Can anyone from this thread try to page.open('https://uniq.site', function(){}), please?

zackw · 2016-02-18T23:17:23Z

No crash with development trunk on Debian unstable on x86-64. (Right now, development trunk is very nearly the same thing as 2.1.1.) I doubt this is an out-of-memory issue, but the computer I tested on does have 32GB of RAM.

@dr-dimitriu, please tell us whether you're on x86-64, -32, or something else, and how much RAM your computer has. Also, please try to construct a self-contained test case; uniq.site might've changed something that made the problem go away. See http://discuss.phantomjs.org/t/draft-troubleshooting-and-reporting-bugs-in-phantomjs/22 for a guide for doing that.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T00:07:34Z

@zackw Thank you for quick response. Could you please post code you have used and phantomjs arguments, you've running on?

OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u3 (2016-01-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux (On top of Proxmox)
RAM: 29GB (8.3GB used)
Phantomjs process RAM usage: 0.1%

As I wrote previously - There is no issues on dev stage (Mac OSX 16GB i7), but on production it appears. Is there something I can work around with .openUrl() instead of .open()? Unfortunately docs is not expressive at all.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T00:09:37Z

BTW: My running phantomjs flags:

phantomjs --load-images=true --ssl-protocol=tlsv1 --ignore-ssl-errors=true --disk-cache=true --debug=true --web-security=false

I've played with them all, and without them. - No luck

zackw · 2016-02-19T03:02:25Z

I did

$ cat test.js
var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('https://uniq.site', function(s){console.log(s);phantom.exit(0);});
$ ./bin/phantomjs test.js ; echo $?
success
0

With your options I get a whole lot of debug spew mostly having to do with cookies, but there is no error.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T03:22:37Z

Phantomjs 2.1.1, right?
Pre-build or compiled version?

I've got new errors, never seen before (any idea?):

And again no bug report, is there any way to turn it on?

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T03:46:53Z

@zackw Thank you for your help.
I've figured out what all errors comes under all users but not root. I don't know how to fix it yet.
I think I should create specific user for phantomjs only. Could you point me onto which files, folders and bins is used while phantomjs is running?

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T04:12:44Z

@zackw thank you again for your help.
After three days and nights (finally!):

~~Stupid (as always)~~ issue was caused by permissions and users (my user has nologin)
Fixed via chown -R root:root /app/dir and chmod -R 755 /app/dir
Application still running as special user, but have access and can execute everything inside /app/dir (running as nobody)

Hope this may help to someone too.
BTW: Still idk why I can't run phantomjs as nologin users, at this very special case: page.open('https://uniq.site'), hope someone can tell me why this happens.

zackw · 2016-02-19T12:06:39Z

My tests were done with 2.1.1, compiled myself.

Crash reporting was removed from 2.1.1 because it is almost always useless to us. You can see the problem in the stack trace (presumably from 1.9.x?) you posted - that tells us absolutely nothing meaningful.

If changing file system permissions fixes the problem, then it would be helpful to know which file it assumed it could read. You can find that out by putting the permissions back the way they were, and then running

$ strace -o /tmp/pjs-strace.log phantomjs [... arguments ...]
$ grep -e '-1 E' /tmp/pjs-strace.log | tail -10

Post the output of the grep. This will print out the last ten failing system calls that phantomjs made before it crashed, and that will probably tell us the name of the file it couldn't access. I might need to see the entire pjs-strace.log but let's start with this.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T12:11:00Z

@zackw I'll be back with this issue in 24 hours. Sorry, afk

Drat, I think I need to see the entire file. It's probably huge, so please gzip and then attach it. Also, did it crash? The log won't tell me anything useful if it didn't crash.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T13:04:18Z

Yes, it is crashed with same behaviour, as described above:

And it crashes right on page.open(), without a chance to log it status.

zackw · 2016-02-19T13:27:34Z

Huh, there isn't a single permissions error anywhere in there. It looks more like "ApplicationCache" is corrupted. (It's possible that the corruption happened because of earlier permissions problems.)

Please tar up and attach the contents of /home/phantom/.local/share/Ofi Labs/. Then rename that directory out of the way, re-run your test script, and see if it crashes again.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T13:36:36Z

To make it clear - I'm using precompiled version
But same error was on 2.0.0 compiled from sources.

there isn't a single permissions error anywhere in there

But somehow it depends.

Unfortunately I have to get back to the day job now and may not have time to look at this any more for several days. But I have some leads to investigate, and thanks for your help so far.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T14:03:37Z

Okay (and I'm going to take a nap). Let me know if you will have any idea so far. BTW maybe I should just compile it (not a big deal for me)?

We've solved the uniq.site issue, but I'm still getting bunch of those:

PhantomJS has crashed. Please read the bug reporting guide at
<http://phantomjs.org/bug-reporting.html> and file a bug report.

Note: currently I'm running 4 processes of phantomjs, and they are renders around 4,500 pages / hour.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-19T23:15:36Z

After some monitoring, only next error appears to be related to pjs crashes:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf5)
# and:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0(+0x80a4)

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-20T20:15:19Z

Hi there, any news on your end?
After googling (and some research) it appears what local compiling should fix those issues

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-21T17:48:50Z

Hi @zackw , just want to let you know:
I've compiled phantomjs 2.1.1 locally. No changes. Still getting same crashes.

zackw · 2016-02-21T17:50:58Z

I maybe should have been clearer about "I have to get back to the day job now and may not have time to look at this any more for several days". I meant "I won't be doing any PhantomJS work at all until March." Sorry.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-21T17:53:27Z

@zackw okay ))
I hope you don't mind, if I just will keep updating this thread with my progress around this issue.

dr-dimitru · 2016-02-22T14:58:18Z

I've found a solution.
Errors described above is caused by memory leaks in V8.

Due to some technical limitations, the web page object might not be completely garbage collected. This is often encountered when the same object is used over and over again

Run process as nobody
Add undocumented --disk-cache-path=;
Add access to specified disk-cache-path for nobody user
My solution is running as web server module, and even calling close() after rendering page is not freeing all allocated memory. So after every 100 requests I'm simply exiting (phantom.exit(-1)) phantom process. And starting it again in parent process (which initiated via spawn) on exit event.

aril-spetalen · 2016-09-26T12:50:01Z

Okay, @dr-dimitru,
I'm happy you found a work around. But it looks somewhat hacky, and I'd like to have a more permanent solution to my test framework. Right now, I get very frequent phantomJS crashes, which are blocking my CI from producing new product releases..
So, at end of September, there is still no one who has found a solution to this issue?
Cheers,
Aril

dr-dimitru · 2016-09-26T13:19:46Z

@aril-spetalen

I've built a PhantomJS factory where is dozen of PhantomJS servers is ready for incoming request, and if it fails - request will be handled by other instance, while failed instance is restarting.

This issue was discussed with main maintainer - there is no fix to it, as it bug of V8 not PhantomJS.

stale · 2019-12-28T16:55:04Z

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity (see #14541 for more details), we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed. In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
