Hi guys,
I am using UI Vision (kantu) chrome automation for running some automation task.
I keep getting the aw snap error in chrome after the automation task has run for like 5 mins. The total time it would take to run all the aumation per suite will be around 10 mins.
I am not sure if this could be because of too much chrome memory consumption?
I have tried almost every fix found on the internet for chrome’s aw snap error.
Oh, I see that it is Kantu that is crashed, not Chrome! My workaround above is still valid. But do you have a macro that can be used to recreate the crash?
thank you @ulrich for your reply,
yes that’s right, its not chrome that is crashing, it’s the kantu UI Vision window that crashes.
The weird thing is that the same set of macros in the test suite works and runs perfectly fine on my Lenovo ideapad(RAM 8GB) running the same windows 10 as well. while the Asus vivo notebook running on windows 10 (RAM 4GB) is crashing every after 5 mins.
So I am assuming this could be the RAM and as chrome and the extension is consuming too much memory.
Just only when I try to come to conclusion that it could be because of the RAM, I ran the same set of macros in the another desktop Lenovo with only 4 GB RAM and it works fine! - - so now it’s not the RAM
then I factory reset the Asus vivo (4GB RAM) , incase it has some weird applications installed that’s running on the background and installed fresh chrome and UI vision extensions to test it and then unfortunately UI vision crashed again!
so I am really out of guess now, what could be causing this issue? even if it is hardware issue, UI vision was running perfectly fine everyday on the same Asus vivo notebook before the latest update (5.0.8)
yes I have been looking into the javacript selenium driver but it as it still depends and runs through chrome/firefox browser right? if that’s the case, then there’s no guarantee that custom made automation with selenium wouldn’t crash.
I’m having the same problem. I cannot leave the script running on it’s own because, inevitably, at some point, “Aw Snap!”.
I don’t think I’ve managed to get it to run once without Kantu (ui.vision rpa) “crashing”.
Version: UI.Vision RPA 5.3.7
Windows 7
64-bit Operating System
8.00GB of RAM
Only one tab open in Chrome (Version 78.0.3904.108 (Official Build) (64-bit))
No other software running (other than Skype in the background).
Start time: 2019-12-12T18:03:29.185Z
Last Log time: 2019-12-12T18:45:40.664Z
Would have crashed somewhere between 18:45 and 18:50
The process the macro is running is quite simple:
Open CSV file and Read
If line says X run sub-macro (macro in sub-folder) 1
If line says Y run sub-macro (macro in sub-folder) 2
If line says Z run sub-macro (macro in sub-folder) 3
sub macros 1, 2 and 3 may call a different sub-macro e.g. Goto Screen X or Write INV file.
In total, there were 33 lines to read and then perform, 22 lines were read before it crashed.
This is a basic sub-set of the actual process I’m wanting to test which I was hoping for around two hundred to three hundred of lines.
Not looking too promising at the moment.
Would appreciate any help on fixing Kantu/ui.Vision so it no longer crashes and can be trusted as a robust application.
If you need macros, etc, let me know (but can’t demo website due to GDPR).
