latest build crashes after a few seconds

[cadeyrn]

After today's changes I updated my reference browser. When I start the reference browser it crashes after a few seconds.

(I am not sure which build was my previous so I still have to check which change caused the crash)

[cadeyrn]

The crash happens since the GeckoView update from version 65.0.20181129095546 to 66.0.20181217093726 in 28283d2.

@cadeyrn by any chance, do you happen to know which current tab is open?

EDIT: or any steps to reproduce? :) We're trying to reproduce the issue here, but everything seems fine. We're wondering what current state your browser is in now and what it was in before you updated?

[cadeyrn]

The current tab is https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/. My only step was to checkout a revision from GitHub, compile with Android Studio and run the app.

I don't know why but I changed the revision several times and it always crashed with 28283d2 or newer and never with older revisions. But now there is no longer a crash with the latest revision. The only thing I did was to restart Android Studio.

[jonalmeida]

Restarting Android Studio would have called gradle sync ('Sync Project with Gradle Files') which would have pulled in the any updated dependencies instead of using the last cached ones. My guess is, that was the issue. :)

We can leave this issue open for a bit if you think you might be able to reproduce the issue, otherwise feel free to close it.

[cadeyrn]

Since I can no longer reproduce let's close the issue. If it happens again, it can still be reopenend. :)
