Toggldesktop: Small memory leak issue

[astrochun]

💻 Environment

Platform: macOS
OS Version: 10.14.6
Toggl Version: 7.5.42

🐞 Actual behavior

A follow-up on #3766: Further monitoring of memory use indicate a small memory leak. Upon opening the Toggl application, the memory use is at ~60MB. Over time, it has been seen to rise gradually. Most recently, it's been seen at 280MB after the application has been opened for over 5 days. Others have reported memory usage of ~100MB at most. Certainly the patch in 7.5.42 fixed the high memory leak, but perhaps there is a secondary leak. For comparison, the memory usage level is comparable to Google Chrome.

💯 Expected behavior

Lower memory usage

🔨 Steps to reproduce

1. Start Toggl on macOS 10.14.6
2. Monitor memory usage with time

📦 Additional info

This does not appear to affect older Mac (e.g., Mac OSX 10.11.6)

Here's a screenshot of memory usage:

Thank for the report. We also notice that there are still some small memory leaking too. Our team will keep investigating and completely fix it soon 👍

[astrochun]

I noticed that 7.5.49 is released but the changelog does not mention any memory leak issue fix. Could an update be provided? Thanks.

[NghiaTranUIT]

Sorry for that but the build 7.5.49 mainly focus on the Timeline v2 and we haven't investigated the memory leak further.

The memory usage after 6 hours. Version 7.5.85 on macOS 10.14.6. Please let me know if you need more details.

@NghiaTranUIT Has this fix been released yet? I'm using 7.5.113 and after few hours the memory usage went up to 1.82 GB. :/

[skel35]

@toszcze Memory leak fixes were done right after 7.5.113. Please try the latest beta, version 7.5.115, and let us know if you still experience high memory usage.

[toszcze]

@skel35 Thanks! I just installed 7.5.115, let's see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for your hard work! 👍

[toszcze]

@skel35 Unfortunately the issue still exists. :/ I'm using 7.5.115, after ~16 hours the RAM usage went up to 1.88 GB.

[NghiaTranUIT]

Thank you for reporting @toszcze

Even though we fixed a bunch of leaking in our HTTPClient, but we believe that there is some leak in the Timeline feature when it records the Timeline Events

Reopen the ticket and I will investigate further 👍

[astrochun]

Same here after about 12-hr of use with 7.5.115. Is there a way to disable/turn off Timeline? I don't use this feature generally.

[NghiaTranUIT]

Yes, you can turn off the Record Activity switch to avoid memory leak (see screenshot)

If you still encounter the memory leak, please report us 👍

[astrochun]

I actually have that "Record Activity" turn off.

[toszcze]

I also have the Record Activity turned off.

[VitaliyHTC]

Also have same issue (Record activity off). After restart it use much less memory. My colegue have this issue with 2.94GB of memory use.

upd: version: 7.5.102

[kapooostin]

I like the Record Activity, but not long ago Toggl began to end up with 12–14 GB of RAM to itself after a day of usage.
toggl v. 7.5.119
macOS 10.14.6

[NghiaTranUIT]

@here The memory leaking is finally fixed in the stable 7.5.123

Please download it and let us know the update 👍 Thank you guys in advance 🌮

I still have the issue in Mojave 10.14.6 and Toggle Desktop 7.5.123 with Record Activity set to off
