optionally use garbage collector #803

Closed tim-thacker-nullify closed 9 months ago

tim-thacker-nullify commented 10 months ago

Use the existing run_gc_after_every_sequence setting to skip creation of the GarbageCollector class.

The constructor for this class calls multiprocessing.Lock() which requires the /dev/shm device file. If you want to run restler on a machine which doesn't have this device file you should be able to disable the garbage collector. in v9.0.0 this was possible by setting garbage_collection_interval to 0 but v9.0.1 was changed to always run the GarbageCollector constructor, which then calls multiprocessing.Lock() and crashes the program if /dev/shm does not exist.

Thank you for fixing this!
