Thanks for getting in touch. At what stage do you see those errors? Do they appear as you try to start Burp or has Burp launched and these appear as you use Burp? If they appear as you use Burp, what tasks are you carrying out when they appear?

Rui | Last updated: Jul 19, 2024 03:42PM UTC

The errors appear as Burp is loading.

...loading a project file.

Does this happen with all project files or just specific ones? Are they disk-based files? If you start a new temporary project file, do you see the same messages at the CLI?

Rui | Last updated: Jul 23, 2024 02:22PM UTC

ok, this only appears to happen with a specific project file, with or without extensions added. There appears to be no issue with other project files, whether temporary or on disk. I will restart the project and see if the issue persists. Is there a way to identify what is causing the problem by analyzing the project file? Thanks Rui

Thanks for the update. When you see these errors, are you still able to see all the information in the project file? Or are there issues with the behavior of the project file? We may be able to find out more if you send us the output from Help > Diagnostics and temporarily enable Settings > Suite > Performance feedback > Log performance data to a local directory, then close Burp and re-open the project that has the issue and send the resulting log file to support@portswiger.net. At this stage I can't guarantee how much detail this will give us but we can certainly take a look.

When you see these errors, are you still able to see all the information in the project file? Usually, though sometimes Burp does not start at all or hangs Or are there issues with the behavior of the project file? Once the project is loaded, Burp seems to work ok, although it keeps generating similar errors on the Windows console Help > Diagnostics and performance log data has been emailed. Thx Rui

Hi Thanks for the update. Did you send the diagnostics file to support@portswigger.net from the same email address you're using to post here? If so, can you please try resending it as I have not yet seen the email. Thanks!

Resent again this morning from wavefront1@shaw.ca with subject "Troubleshooting "I am getting the below Java Stackoverflow error when running the latest Burp Proxy jar file with OpwnJDK 20.0.1 and 20.0.2, with or without extensions"
