Comment 1 Adrian Perez 2020-05-19 14:50:58 PDT

For the critical in “webkit_web_context_register_uri_scheme()“ see
bug #209900 — applications should not try to register custom URI
scheme handlers for a few schemes that are handled internally by
WebKit. Nowadays we return early from that function instead of
attempting to register the handler and then crash with a seemingly
unrelated assertion deeper inside WebKit.

Nevertheless, quick question: unless “G_DEBUG=fatal-warnings“ is
set in the environment, that should not be the reason of the crash.
Is there any chance you could run the process under GDB to get a
backtrace? Alternatively, if your system has “coredumpctl” you may
be able to get the backtrace from it. That would help us figuew out
what the issue is here, otherwise I am afraid we won't be able to
do much.

Thanks for your time!

No backtrace and therefore no evidence the crash is caused by WebKit. Please, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/GettingTraces for instructions on how to report crashes.

I've attached a patch in bug #209900 but there's really no evidence that is related to this issue.
