Tests are leaking memory.

[dav1app]

I've debugging this issue for some time.

Running the desktop-wallet using either --runInBand and --maxWorkers=1 result in a memory leak that ends up consuming ~4GB of RAM, forcing the usage of --max_old_space_size=4096 to run the tests. If using any inspect tools (--inspect-brk), even 4GB isn't safe to be used.

• Using nodes --optimize-for-size and --gc-interval doesn't seem to impact the results directly.
• Using nodes --gc-interval=1 --gc_global reduce the memory consumed by the tests, but didn't improve it well enough to fit on 2GB. It goes from 3.8GB to 2.8GB. It also makes the test run for a very long time (30~40min).
• Chrome debugger didn't give a precise answer of who is being responsible for the leak. The biggest arrays loaded on the memory come from locales and translations. jasmine also seems to have a lot of presence there. Better analysis is needded.
• I have created a repository with jest, jest-extended, vue, vue-template-compiler and jest-vue-preprocessor and a bunch of expect(true).toBeTruthy() to check if the handles were the ones leaking memory. They are not, the memory increased ~1MB per 20 tests. This is used as a base for improving the tests.

• Tests related to Transactions seems to be the tests consuming the biggest amount of RAM. I'm testing them right now.

node --max_old_space_size=8192  --expose-gc --gc_interval=1 --gc_global ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --runInBand --config __tests__/unit.jest.conf.js --logHeapUsage --no-cache --json --outputFile=testResult.json

The tests for the Transactions (partially): The rest of tests:

• I've also tried to change jest-vue-preprocessor to vue-test. Since it is used by more packages, I'm expecting this to be more stable than jest-vue-preprocessor, and almost no code needs to be changed. Anyway, this package is not responsible for the leak.

Expected Behavior

• Run the tests with the default heap size (2GB) with --runInBand.

Current Behavior

• Consuming 4GB with --runInBand.
• Running with multiple workers (4+) uses less RAM.

Possible Solution

• --max_old_space_size=4096. We also need to check Github Actions for more options.
• Fixing the leak itself.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Clone desktop-wallet.
2. Run it using test:unity:band (./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --config __tests__/unit.jest.conf.js --runInBand. You can use --logHeapUsage to check the increasing memory consumption).
3. See Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory error.

Your Environment

• Version used: Latest 2.6-tx-types branch. Also, since my last PR broke the tests, you can use mems branch. jest-vue-preprocessor seems to be broken.
• Environment name and version: Node 12.12
• Operating System and version: Debian 10

Things that can be done

• [x] Spend some time with the debugger.
• [x] Striping all the dependencies inside the Transaction and run them separately.
• [x] Since Objects and Arrays are the most used constructor (even when analyzing the diff between snapshots, finding where they are been used inside Transactions can lead to the leak.
• [x] Find out every memory consumption test and check if all of them have the same dependency.
• [x] Use jest clearMocks option.
• [x] Create a initial file that loads all the tests inside them. This way the gc will be more agressive and remove everything after one test is finished.
• [x] Creating an universal afterAll and afterEach inside setupFilesAfterEnv to use global.gc().

[dav1app]

After some debugging, I got the conclusion that tests themselves are leaking memory. Not the dependencies, not the setup, not anything. The answer is inside describe()

I've created a module that tracks the memory, measuring its diff and placed it inside afterEach, afterAll, beforeEach and beforeAll. It also runs inside setup.js. I also placed a function to force the garbage collector.

afterAll(() => {
  memo('afterAll > before running GC()')
  if (global.gc) {
    global.gc()
    memo('afterAll > after running GC()')
  }
})

afterEach(() => {
  memo('afterEach > before running GC()')
  if (global.gc) {
    global.gc()
    memo('afterEach > after running GC()')
  }
})

This is the log for TransactionFormMultiSignature.spec.js. See how the heap increases inside each test.

I've been looking at this for the past few hours also. I think the main cause of the increase in memory usage is due to vue components not being removed from memory, even when component.destroy() is called. The best example test is __tests__/unit/components/Transaction/TransactionForm/TransactionFormBusiness/mixin.spec.js which increases mem usage to ~330mb from 111 tests. Removing the call to createWrapper which mounts the components, mem usage drops to ~130mb.

I could be wrong about this, but that's my current line of thinking right now.

I also noticed the same thing you did, empty tests increase memory. I couldn't figure out the specific cause after changing config or setup.

[dav1app]

One way of testing that is using an empty repository with the minimum requirements for tests and just try mounting and unmounting components programmatically.

• [x] Check if the vue component itself is the cause.
• [x] Check if the dependency is the cause.
• [x] Check if the gc() cleans the createWrapper content after.
• [x] Check intl and i18n inside the createWrapper and inside the component itself. Those variables constantly show up inside the debugger using a lot of RAM and I wasn't able to find if they are causing the leak.

[dav1app]

Here is the garbageman module that I am using to debug the leak. See if it can help. Will create a package after this.

garbageman.js

let lastHeap = 0

module.exports = (scope) => { return function (msg) { const heap = (process.memoryUsage().heapUsed / 1024 / 1024).toFixed(2) const diffHeap = (heap - lastHeap).toFixed(2) console.log(${scope} ${'\t'}| ${msg} ${'\t'}| ${heap} MB ${'\t'}| ${diffHeap} MB ${'\t'}) lastHeap = heap } }

> setup-after-env.js
```js
const garbageman = require('./garbageman.js')('setup-after-env.js')

garbageman('loaded') 

afterAll(() => {
  garbageman('afterAll > before running GC()')
  if (global.gc) {
    global.gc()
   garbageman('afterAll > after running GC()')
  }
})

afterEach(() => {
  garbageman('afterEach > before running GC()')
  if (global.gc) {
    global.gc()
    garbageman('afterEach > after running GC()')
  }
})

unit.jest.conf.js

module.exports = { //... setupFilesAfterEnv: [ '/tests/unit/utils/setup-after-env.js' ] //... }

[dav1app]

So, I programmatically added a heapdump on afterEach to track down who is leaking memory. It took a long time to debug a very small number of tests.

This is the difference between 2 tests, after gc(). The result should be nothing.

Almost all of the (object.proprieties)[] are comming from VueComponent $root and $parant. The class is also retaining a lot of memory.

So, as you find out yesterday, this was caused by the VueComponent class.

• [x] ~Try to shallowMount everywhere.~
• [x] ~Try to use vm.$destroy() on localVue.~
• [x] Update @vue/test-utilsto beta 31 because of this.

Issue related to breaking changes of beta 31: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-test-utils/issues/1137

[brenopolanski]

I did some tests to try to reduce the memory leak problem using the destroy() function of @vue/test-utils to remove the instance of the Vue component.

Example of using the destroy() function:

let wrapper = null

beforeEach(() => {
  wrapper = shallowMount(Rating, {
    propsData: {
      maxStars: 6
    }
  })
})

afterEach(() => {
  wrapper.destroy()
})

describe('Rating', () => {
  //
  // …
}

Source: https://vue-test-utils.vuejs.org/api/wrapper/#destroy

However, there was no considerable decrease in memory consumption. See the results below:

I also ran beta-31 and adjusted some tests. Beta-31 doesn't seem to solve the problem either. :disappointed:

I've debugging this issue using chrome debugger for Node.

There are references in the memory for Vue components that aren't unmount.

Steps to reproduce:

1. To do that, start tests with debugging enabled with: node --inspect-brk --expose-gc ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --config __tests__/unit.jest.conf.js --runInBand --logHeapUsage. That will pause the tests when they first start and wait for you to attach the Chrome debugger.
2. Open up Chrome and go to chrome://inspect in the address bar.
3. Click on Open dedicated DevTools for Node to open the debugger.
4. From the Sources tab, click the Play icon in the top right to Resume script execution. You will now see the Jest console begin running the tests. You can also pause the script execution with the Pause icon to stop Jest.
5. After allowing the tests to run for a bit to build up memory we’ll take a heap snapshot.
6. Go to Memory tab.
7. Take heap snapshots.

According to this (most specific this), we should not place variables inside the describe().

Jest 22 had an option to --detectLeaks .Check this out!

[dav1app]

Well...

• [ ] Check for async operations that didn't finished.
• [ ] Check for timers that are not properly mocked.
• [ ] Remove references in the global scope.
• [x] --detectLeaks doesn't work.

Jest 22 had an option to --detectLeaks.Check this out!

Just an update:

Using the Jest 25 its necessary to install the weak-napi(to use --detectLeaks) as a project dependency.

[dav1app]

According to --detectLeaks this test:

describe('MemoryLeakTest', function () {
  it('should should do nothing', function () {
    expect(true).toBeTruthy()
  })
})

executed with ./node_modules/jest/bin/jest.js --detectLeaks leaks memory.

Is jest leaking memory? No setup was included, nothing.

This is getting weird.

GitLab runs a similar stack for the tests.

desktop-walllet	GitLab
jest@25.1.0	jest@24.8.0
jest-vue-preprocessor@1.5.0	vue-jest@4.0.0-beta.2

I've also raised an issue with Jest here. Very basic tests seem to keep/hold on to memory, the results can be seen in this repo
