During the Gauntlet runtime crash, no crash dump file was generated on windows package

Hi

We would like to simulate the crash process using Gauntlet.

Currently, we are able to generate a dump file on the console when a crash occurs.

However, Windows does not generate a .dmp file.

After searching online, we found some related topics, but we’d like to ask:

Are there any other known solutions or workarounds to ensure that a dump file is generated?​

Thanks in advance​

Steps to Reproduce
Execute “Debug Crash” console command on X64 package (UE 5.4 Development build)

​

Case A

Durning gauntlet is running: No crash dump file was generated; only a CrashReportClient.ini file was created.

Case B

Manually running the app generates four files, including minidump.dmp.

Hi,

If the Gauntlet command is pushing -buildmachine command line argument to the UE executable then this argument needs to be used `-args=-AllowCrashReportClientOnBuildMachine` in order for the crash report to work completely.

see:

Engine/Source/Runtime/Core/Private/Windows/WindowsPlatformCrashContext.cpp @985

Many thanks. This is precisely what I needed.
