Unable to start flutter web app from within Android Studio IDE

[bftigertms]

Steps to Reproduce

Create the default sample Flutter app (counter) with Android and Web support.
The project runs fine via the Android Studio IDE "Run" or "Debug" options (attached to main.dart) when the target is an Android virtual device.
However, when clicking on Android Studio IDE's "Run" or "Debug" options with the target device as "Chrome (web)", the browser appears with "Aw Snap" (with error code: STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN).

The same project can be opened in VS Code, and launches from the IDE Run/Debug option (to chrome again) with no problems.

Just tested this again on latest everything and still having the same issue! When will this be resolved for Android Studio?

Steps to Reproduce

Again, to reproduce, just create a new flutter web project -- this time with with 3.22.1 (which includes the sample code utilising the flutter_bootstrap.js approach, then set "Flutter Device Selection" in Android Studio IDE to Chrome (web) and click IDE icon for "run main.dart" - same "STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN" error in localhost chrome launched.

As before, runs OK in Visual Studio Code, and also runs fine with

flutter run -d chrome --web-renderer html

Hi @jwren,

This issue was placed on the "on deck" milestone a few months ago. Given the detailed information and steps to reproduce that I've provided, could you prioritize reproducing the issue?

It would be helpful to get feedback or confirmation on whether the issue can be reproduced. If there's anything more I can do to assist, in terms of collecting any extra debug/info, please let me know.

I have just upgraded to Android Studio Koala 2024.1.1 and Chrome 126.0.6478.115 and it still occurs.

Many thanks for your time and attention to this matter.

This is still happening!

Further testing (again with default flutter counter app) with verbose logging showing:

From CLI (using "flutter run -d chrome --verbose"):

[        ] MetadataProvider: Loaded debug metadata (sound null safety)
[   +6 ms] DwdsInjector: Injected debugging metadata for entrypoint at http://localhost:64322/main_module.bootstrap.js

[+6512 ms] ChromeProxyService: Initializing expression compiler for main_module.bootstrap.js with sound null safety: true
[  +34 ms] ChromeProxyService: Caching package:flutter/src/widgets/widget_inspector.dart in expression compiler worker
[  +41 ms] DevHandler: Debug service listening on ws://127.0.0.1:64372/QCnhrLx-J_M=/ws

From IDE (using "Run" / shift-F10) leading to browser instance "Aw, Snap" crash:
[ ] MetadataProvider: Loaded debug metadata (sound null safety) [ +4 ms] DwdsInjector: Injected debugging metadata for entrypoint at http://localhost:64843/main_module.bootstrap.js
with nothing further logged after crash

Logs show BOTH methods of running app use same command:
Launching Chromium (url = http://localhost:64843, headless = false, skipCheck = false, debugPort = null)

Many thanks for the link(s). I can confirm the problem is not with the flutter demo app itself. I used the flutter demo app purely as a ref for others to reproduce the error from within Android Studio IDE.

@jwren
I can confirm compatibility mode was causing the issue, but NOT against the chrome executable itself. Within my Win11 environment I found that the android studio studio64.exe was running under Win8 compat mode, whereas my VS Code code.exe was not. Problem solved :)
