Replace CrashPad handler

[ibebbs]

Hi,

In other Chromium wrappers it is possible to replace the CrashPad process used to collect/report errors so that crash handling can be overriden. For example, this document shows how to use an 'external handler' to collect crash information when using CefSharp.

Does this capability exist for WebView2?

Thanks,
Ian

We don't offer that level of configuration unfortunately. We do intentionally leave recent crash dumps in the Crashpad\reports\ folder of your WV2's User Data Folder in order for the hosting application to be able to find them and upload/process them as they see fit.

@ibebbs - We aren't planning on adding this exact capability, but have added a property to more easily find dumps. You can find details here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/concepts/data-privacy?tabs=dotnetcsharp#custom-crash-reporting

Feel free to open a new feature request with details on where and how this approach falls short if you'd like us to get it on our backlog.
