Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Very professional project, in contrast to similar solutions. Enables us to integrate a powerful javascript engine with a C# application. Also allow people to easily support old microsoft VB and JS engines in recent C# applications.

New Post: Crash with engine Interrupt() instruction from another thread

0

The documentation states that This method can be called safely from any thread

So I made this unit test. Unfortunately it crashes most of time with an access violation in function InternalFieldOK (v8\src\api.cc). The test conditions are ClearScript 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 with default V8 version. Release mode 32 bits.
        [Test]
        public virtual void TestScriptInterruptedCrash()
        {
            var ctx = new PropertyBag();
            using (var engine = new V8ScriptEngine("CrashScript"))
            {
                engine.AddHostObject("context", ctx);

                var startEvent = new ManualResetEventSlim(false);
                ThreadStart main = () =>
                {
                    ctx["startEvent"] = startEvent;
                    ctx["counter"] = 0;
                    try
                    {
                        System.DateTime dtRun = System.DateTime.UtcNow;
                        engine.Execute("dummyDocument.js", @"
for (var i = 0; i < 3000000; i++ )
{
    context.counter++;
    context.startEvent.Set();
}

");
                        Assert.Inconclusive();
                    }
                    catch (Microsoft.ClearScript.ScriptInterruptedException si)
                    {
                        Assert.That(si.Message.Contains("interrupted"));
                    }
                };

                var t = new Thread(main);
                t.Start();
                Assert.That(startEvent.Wait(10000));
                engine.Interrupt();

                t.Join();

                // The thread did some work but was interrupted in the middle
                Assert.Greater(3000000, (Int32)ctx["counter"]);
                Assert.Less(0, (Int32)ctx["counter"]);
            }
        }
I can guess from call stack that it crashes when tring to access to the host object"startEvent"... but the v8 handles and objects are a bit cryptic to debug.

Am-I doing something wrong ? or does the script interruption disposes some ressources at the wrong time ?

Description

ClearScript is a library that makes it easy to add scripting to your .NET applications. It currently supports JavaScript (via V8 and JScript) and VBScript.

Features

  • Simple usage; create a script engine, add your objects and/or types, run scripts
  • Support for several script engines: Google's V8, Microsoft's JScript and VBScript
  • Exposed resources require no modification, decoration, or special coding of any kind
  • Scripts get simple access to most of the features of exposed objects and types:
    • Methods, properties, fields, events
    • (Objects) Indexers, extension methods, conversion operators, explicitly implemented interfaces
    • (Types) Constructors, nested types
  • Full support for generic types and methods, including C#-like type inference and explicit type arguments
  • Scripts can invoke methods with output parameters, optional parameters, and parameter arrays
  • Script delegates enable callbacks into script code
  • Support for exposing all the types defined in one or more assemblies in one step
  • Optional support for importing types and assemblies from script code
  • The host can invoke script functions and access script objects directly
  • Full support for script debugging

Examples

using System;
using Microsoft.ClearScript;
using Microsoft.ClearScript.V8;

// create a script engineusing (var engine = new V8ScriptEngine())
{
    // expose a host type
    engine.AddHostType("Console", typeof(Console));
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine('{0} is an interesting number.', Math.PI)");

    // expose a host object
    engine.AddHostObject("random", new Random());
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine(random.NextDouble())");

    // expose entire assemblies
    engine.AddHostObject("lib", new HostTypeCollection("mscorlib", "System.Core"));
    engine.Execute("Console.WriteLine(lib.System.DateTime.Now)");

    // create a host object from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        birthday = new lib.System.DateTime(2007, 5, 22);
        Console.WriteLine(birthday.ToLongDateString());
    ");

    // use a generic class from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        Dictionary = lib.System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary;
        dict = new (Dictionary(lib.System.String, lib.System.Int32))();
        dict.Add('foo', 123);
    ");

    // call a host method with an output parameter
    engine.AddHostObject("host", new HostFunctions());
    engine.Execute(@"
        intVar = host.newVar(lib.System.Int32);
        found = dict.TryGetValue('foo', intVar.out);
        Console.WriteLine('{0} {1}', found, intVar);
    ");

    // create and populate a host array
    engine.Execute(@"
        numbers = host.newArr(lib.System.Int32, 20);
        for (var i = 0; i < numbers.Length; i++) { numbers[i] = i; }
        Console.WriteLine(lib.System.String.Join(', ', numbers));
    ");

    // create a script delegate
    engine.Execute(@"
        Filter = lib.System.Func(lib.System.Int32, lib.System.Boolean);
        oddFilter = new Filter(function(value) {
            return (value & 1) ? true : false;
        });
    ");

    // use LINQ from script
    engine.Execute(@"
        oddNumbers = numbers.Where(oddFilter);
        Console.WriteLine(lib.System.String.Join(', ', oddNumbers));
    ");

    // call a script function
    engine.Execute("function print(x) { Console.WriteLine(x); }");
    engine.Script.print(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);

    // examine a script object
    engine.Execute("person = { name: 'Fred', age: 5 }");
    Console.WriteLine(engine.Script.person.name);
}

And if we just want to use the simple JScriptEngine from windows (it'll be enough for our purposes), how do you debug the script there? I tried adding debugger; attaching from another visualstudio process.

I'm sure it's something easy, but there's all the talk about Eclipse and such. but that'll be a deal breaker as I evaluate adding dynamic code to my particular project.

Hi paulkth,

JScriptEngine supports script debugging via Visual Studio. Once your application has created an instance of JScriptEngine with debugging enabled, you should be able to attach the Visual Studio script debugger. You'll then see the list of loaded script documents in Solution Explorer; you can view the script code, set breakpoints, etc. The one caveat is that you cannot attach the script debugger if another debugger (managed or native) is already attached.

If on the other hand you need to implement a script debugger like Waqaar above, that's also possible, but it's a much bigger task, and it might be easier to create a debugger for V8 than for JScript/VBScript.

Good luck!

Thanks, I got it. The trick was, as you said, "with debugging enabled"
_scriptEngine = new JScriptEngine(WindowsScriptEngineFlags.EnableDebugging);

Hello ZivLo! Thanks for reporting this issue. We are investigating. The problem seems to be related to your machine's locale or language settings, but so far we haven't been able to reproduce it.
