memory leak?

[ebiancarelli]

Is anyone else experience high memory usage and leaks when exercising this code?

I'm using qt5.2.1 and this code in conjunction with a sample python selenium script that loads Yahoo and does a search. If I run this test code a few times, I can see the allocated memory in 'htop' is climbing and not recovering. I have an advanced test suite that can drive the browser to exhaust all available memory. :-(

[hekra01]

Also run Qt5.2 test suites (java/python) but have not observed such issue yet. Could you please provide your sample script?

[ebiancarelli]

I'll note that I'm running qt5.2.1 with several patches applied for performance improvements in WebKit. I'm not running stock qt5.2.1...I do have a basic WebView application that I am driving.

Hi

WebDriver should be started in Qt main loop I suggest you start the WebDriver in the same thread as you app

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    // etc...

    // Start WebDriver
    int startError = wd_server->Start();
    if (startError){
        std::cout << "Error while starting server, errorCode " << startError << std::endl;
        return startError;
    }

    QGraphicsWebView *web = new QGraphicsWebView;
    QWebPage *page = new QWebPage(web);
    // etc....

    return app.exec();

An example test app is available here https://github.com/cisco-open-source/qtwebdriver/blob/WD_1.X_dev/src/Test/main.cc

I updated my previous comment and included the code we use to start the web driver. We do start it from the main thread (sorry, I added that in too). Maybe I need to use different options to start the server and in my 'capabilities' set in the test?

[hekra01]

Python test is fine.

• used your test and app code
• build without opengl support: No leak observed Looks like the leak is caused by this or due to opengl

    if (openGL) {
        QGLWidget *glWidget = new QGLWidget(QGLFormat(QGL::SampleBuffers));
        view->setViewport(glWidget);
    }

[ebiancarelli]

Have tried with and without OpenGl. I can get the memory issue to happen. I've asked another developer to reproduce my findings, and he also can see the memory leak.

We've done research into why there is a memory leak, but have not made headway due to the large WebKit codebase.

[hekra01]

We reproduced the leak, even launching pages without WD. Looking into it
