Why I can''t get my crashes in winqual account?

Hi!

Continue working with WER Api in Delphi

Part I "Some questions about WER"I

I try to integrate WER support in delphi application and write own exception process based on WerReportCreate and WerReportSubmit functions.

I'm raise exception, get right Bucket ID (50248784) and view status : Report Sent (see next screenshot)

I can't get this^^^ report in winqual portal!

(I think - problem in wrong version maping, but inPart II "What are the main parameters..." I understood what main map parameters is FileName, FileVersion, and Linkdate)

But if I'm re-raise exception in the Application.OnException event handler (this way to bypass Delphi exception handlers)

the Windows Error Reporting dialog is shown and application is terminated and this event appear in winqual account since 11 days! So long, but appear!

This ^^^report^^^ apperar in my account sonce 11 days!

Sorry at screnshot with russian Vista, but I pass test cases on Vista Ultimate Russian and don't install English version.

What difference between this two reports?

I see difference only in not localized in my problem signature table on first screenshot.

This my sample code:

Delphi code

program ProjectMyTestWERApi;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
...

var
 P : TObject;
hReportHandle : HREPORT;
werReportInfo : WER_REPORT_INFORMATION;
eventType : PWideChar;
Res : hResult;
PS1, PS2 : WideString;
Ver : TVersionInfo;
hMyModule : HMODULE;
ModuleName : WideString;
submitOptions : DWORD;
HF : integer;
Offset : integer;
begin
 WriteLn('Program start');
try
 P :=nil;
WriteLn(P.ClassName);//< Raise access violation here, P = nil!
except
on E : EAccessViolationdo
begin
 FillChar(werReportInfo, SizeOf(werReportInfo),0);
werReportInfo.dwSize := sizeof(werReportInfo);

StringToWideChar('Stopped working', werReportInfo.wzFriendlyEventName,

Length('Stopped working')+1);
StringToWideChar('ProjectMyTestWERApi.exe', werReportInfo.wzApplicationName,

Length('ProjectMyTestWERApi.exe')+1);
StringToWideChar(E.Message, werReportInfo.wzDescription, Length(E.Message)+1);

eventType := APPCRASH_EVENT;

Res := WerReportCreate(eventType, WerReportApplicationCrash,

@werReportInfo, @hReportHandle);
if Res = S_OKthen
begin

PS1 :='Application Name';
PS2 := ExtractFileName('ProjectMyTestWERApi.exe');
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,0, Addr(PS1[1]), Addr(PS2[1]));

PS1 :='Application Version';
Ver := TVersionInfo.Create('ProjectMyTestWERApi.exe');
PS2 := Ver.FileVersion;
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,1, Addr(PS1[1]), Addr(PS2[1]));
Ver.Free;

hMyModule := GetModuleHandle(nil);

// determinate file datetime
HF := FileOpen('ProjectMyTestWERApi.exe', fmOpenReador fmShareDenyNone);
PS1 := FormatDateTime('d.mm.yyyy, h:nn',

FileDateToDateTime(FileGetDate(HF)));
FileClose(HF);
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,2,'Application Timestamp',

Addr(PS1[1]));

// determine module name from crash address
PS1 := Format('%p', [ExceptAddr()]);
GetModuleHandleExW(GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_FROM_ADDRESSor

GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_UNCHANGED_REFCOUNT,

Addr(PS1[1]), hMyModule);
SetLength(ModuleName, MAX_PATH);
GetModuleFileNameW(hMyModule, Pointer(moduleName), Max_Path);
PS1 := ExtractFileName(Copy(ModuleName,1, Pos(#0,ModuleName)));
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,3,'Fault Module Name', Addr(PS1[1]));

// Fault module version
PS1 := .... // skip this code
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,4,'Fault Module Version',

Addr(PS1[1]));


//Fault Module Timestamp
PS1 := .... // skip this code
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,5,'Fault Module Timestamp',

Addr(PS1[1]));

//Exception Code
if E.ExceptionRecord <>nilthen
 PS1 := IntToHex(E.ExceptionRecord^.ExceptionCode,8)else PS1 :='Unknown';
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,6,'Exception Code', Addr(PS1[1]));

//Offset
Offset := StrToInt('$'+Format('%p', [ExceptAddr])) -

Integer(GetModuleHandle(nil));
PS1 := IntToHex(Offset,8);
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,7,'Exception Offset', Addr(PS1[1]));

// test own parameter "Additional Information 1"
PS1 :='Additional Information 1';
PS2 :='<<<Структура вызовов>>>';
WerReportSetParameter(hReportHandle,8, Addr(PS1[1]), Addr(PS2[1]));

submitOptions := WER_SUBMIT_OUTOFPROCESSor WER_SUBMIT_NO_CLOSE_UI;
WerReportSubmit(hReportHandle, WerConsentNotAsked, submitOptions,

@submitResult);


case submitResultof

end;

end
end;
end.

What problem in my report or report parameters?

I can't understand - what is my problem?

Help me please!

Thank you!

Hi Nikolai,

I'm not sure if this is the cause, but I noticed in the first event the timestamp seems to have been formatted differently than in the secon. Normally this is the hex-encoded 32-bit integer representing seconds since December 31st, 1969 at the time the file was compiled. (More information about the file PE header here.)

The second report looks correct. Perhaps that is why the first one failed?

Hi Saar Picker!

Thank you for response, I'l try to correct my timestamp and check it...

But I have last question:

What is proper way to fill parameters in WerReportSetParameter() function?

I'm afraid, this is the main problem!

In second report I'm get localized names of this parameters,

But in my first report I'm assign this names like 'Application Name', 'Fault Module Timestamp', 'Fault Module Version', 'Exception Code'...

How to determinate Fault Module Timestamp parameter in Windows Vista Russian is 'Fault Module Timestamp' or 'Штамп времени модуля с ошибкой' (russian name of this parameter) or Windows Vista WER understand both names: localized and english?

Thanks,

Nikolai

Hi Nikolai,

I would try both. You may also want to see what is recorded for application crashes that don't have top-level excepting handling for comparison. Trial and error is unfortunately necessary here as you're in uncharted waters. I suspect that the parameter index may be more important than the actual string used.

Good luck,
-Saar
