panicwrap breaks Windows Service applications #177

Closed iamacarpet closed 3 years ago

iamacarpet commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug

panicwrap's process forking, which appears to happen using an init() function, is causing Windows Service applications to fail to start.

This is because they check for the parent process executable name == "services.exe"

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start with the windows service example.
  2. Add in bugsnag
  3. Build & drop onto a Windows box
  4. Run with "install" then "start" on the CLI and see the service fails to start.

Hi @iamacarpet

Are you using v2.x of bugsnag-go? If you are using v1.x, there is an upgrade guide and revised documentation: https://docs.bugsnag.com/platforms/go/

In v2.x you can generally use panic-monitor to report unhandled panics, which doesn't fork the process: https://docs.bugsnag.com/platforms/go/other/#reporting-unhandled-panics
