cefclient crashes (CEF 112.2.0)

[phildevaney]

I am seeing the same problem with both 113.1.4 and 114.0.4 beta:

Code: Select all

cefclient.exe --cache-path=C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\CEFClient

will crash, but

Code: Select all

cefclient.exe --cache-path=C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\CEFClient

is OK. Only the Debug build will crash due to use of DLOG macro.

As previously explained by naoki5, the problem is in IsPathSafeToSetAclOn which returns false if path is not under %TEMP%. But our application sets the cache path to "AppData\Local\<AppName>\Profiles\<profile>", not under Temp, which is similar to Chrome which uses "AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\<profile>". We would prefer not to move the cache path under Temp.

Is there a way to keep our cache folder directly under AppData\Local, like Chrome does?

Reading the source code, there seemed to be a mechanism to add valid paths other than %TEMP%.
But I have not found a way to do so.

If there is a way to do that, I would also like to know.
I also believe that an explanation should be added to the Wiki.

Please add a new issue at https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues. If it works without asserting in Chrome then we should be able to make it work in CEF as well.
