I have a Java application written with Swing that uses a JxBrowser (jxbrowser-6.18).
We are loading a local url (http://localhost:8000/someLink.html) and then running some custom js on the browser. At some point the following exceptions are thrown in the java code:
CERROR 2019-01-25 07:38:29,801 - Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
CERROR 2019-01-25 07:38:29,801 - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Channel stream was closed before response has been received.

OnRenderViewGone - terminationStatus=6, errorCode=-536870904
If you have any ideas in which direction I should look or what does the error code or termination status mean - please tell. I searched for it on the internet but I couldn't find any useful info.
Note that I didn't manage to reproduce the issue, so if you have any ideas on how I could reproduce it, please do tell.
Update1: Here you can find the crash dump file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yx86cfhj5rl2eye/chromium-renderer-2019-Jan-25-07-38-17.dmp
1) You will get this exception if you try to access Browser instance that is already disposed. For example, if you dispose a Browser instance using the Browser.dispose() method and then try to call its Browser.loadURL() method, you will get this IllegalStateException error message. Please make sure that in your Java code you don't use already disposed Browser instances. If you use the same Browser instance in different threads, then please make sure that you don't dispose it in one thread and use the already disposed Browser instance in another thread.
To check if the Browser instance is disposed or not, you can use the Browser.isDisposed() method.
2) Browser instance was unexpectedly disposed because of an issue in Chromium engine. By default, on Windows platforms, when Chromium engine is crashed, JxBrowser generates jxbrowser-chromium.dmp crash dump file and stores it in the %localappdata%\JxBrowser\ directory (e.g. c:\users\\appdata\local\JxBrowser\jxbrowser-chromium.dmp). Please check this location and share with me all the crash dump files you see using one of the online file sharing services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Take a look at the tutorials that describe how to get the crash dump files on different platforms.
3) As I can see you are using JxBrowser 6.18 version. I recommend you to update the library to the 6.22.2 as the latest version includes a lot of new features, an updated Chromium engine and plenty of stability fixes, including fixes when connection with the rendering process is lost.
