           Summary: [Qt] Crash handlers make it hard to debug layouttest
                    sessions
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: Qt, QtTriaged
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: kbalazs at webkit.org


It is very useful to generate a core dump for a crashing tests because sometimes there is no other way to catch the crash in the debugger. This is even more useful with WK2 because catching the crash in the web process is even more complicated. Unfortunately the crash handlers we install for DRT and WTR to produce a backtrace with the bots - which is otherwise very useful - hides the actual crash so no core dump is generated. That's why I plan to add a way to disable them via setting an environment variable.
