Segmentation Fault Error

In some rare occurrences one of our products might crash with a segmentation fault error. This can be painful to diagnose as a multitude of things could be the cause of the issue. First lets know what a segmentation fault is.

What is a Segmentation Fault?

> A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system) - source.

The error

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Possible Resolution

Generally, we can find a fix by performing a few steps. These might not fully resolve the issue but hopefully they do.

  1. Rebuild NPM by using npm rebuild in the product directory
  2. Replace the product src files with a fresh copy of them - just in-case they corrupted somehow
  3. If the above fail, reinstall Node with NVM

If the above steps fail or you need help executing them, reach out to us and we'll be happy to help!
