System.AccessViolationException occurs the first time after I rebuild and restart a debug session in visual studio 2015

[MonkeyJumps]

It happens in my following Asp.Net MVC 5 Controller class.

private static Func<object, Task<object>> render = Edge.Func(@"
        var app=require('../../Scripts/DocumentQueue.js');
        var ReactDOMServer = require('react-dom/server');

        return function(documentList, callback){
        var list= app.getDocumentList(documentList);
        callback(null, ReactDOMServer.renderToString(list));
        }
    ");
        // GET: Queue
        [SessionExpireFilter]        
        public async Task<ActionResult> Index()
        {
.......             var queueDocuments = (from DB);
                    ViewBag.List = (string)await render(queueDocuments);
                    ViewBag.QueueDocuments = queueDocuments;                   
                    return View();
                }

Ditto

Does this also happen to you in production or only when you are recompiling?

[Zache]

I also have had this problem, and because of it haven't dared to deploy to production. But what did solve it for me was changing the user running the ApplicationPool from a local user to ApplicationPoolIdentity.

[MonkeyJumps]

@Zache what did you use as an alternative to Edge?

[tjanczuk]

Note: this may be related to #383

[Zache]

@MonkeyJumps nothing, we wanted it for server-side rendering of React but just had to manage without.

[MonkeyJumps]

@Zache Have you looked at ReactJs.Net? I started with that but then moved to Edge, but now am at a fork whether to go back, proceed or like you remove Edge.

[MonkeyJumps]

@tjanczuk what are the secondary effects of this error? How do you suggest I proceed?

This example of using Edge is pretty standard. I took it from the Edge site.

@MonkeyJumps I've been using reactjs.net for several months and am now looking at edge. Rjn is pretty stable but we've been getting performance issues with it (it adds about 100-150 ms per request if you turn off engine pooling, but with pooling it has memory management issues).

[zenglo]

I also encountered this problem, it encountered in the asp.net mvc, I indirectly through a console program calls the edge, to circumvent the AccessViolationException, I wrote a demo, if you want to know, can see EdgeJsDemo. Of course, the hope is that author can fundamentally solve the problem.

[agracio]

The fix requires #573, I have merged it to my fork at https://github.com/agracio/edge-js, take a look at #586 for reference.
