Memory leak in build scan plugin?

Help/Discuss scans.gradle.com

Hi,
I’m running gradle from HEAD using the daemon mode, with the 1.6 build scan plugin activated, and it looks like there might be a memory leak.
I’ve got 45 instances of org.gradle.launcher.daemon.server.scaninfo.DefaultDaemonScanInfo$2
with each of them retaining around 300Kbyte (a JSON string):

Not sure whether that Hashmap is ever cleaned up, but I’m not sure it is a good idea to retain large JSON strings.

Regards,
Markus

Hi @Markus_Kohler,

This is actually just in the build tool, not the scans plugin. What’s confusing is that it’s something in the build tool for the scans plugin.

Would you mind raising this at https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues ?

This leak has been fixed with this PR: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/pull/1736

Thanks again for reporting it @Markus_Kohler.
