memory leak caused by vue-devtools

[raphaelsoul]

leak report by mocha.

I'am using vue-devtools v4.1.5 beta on chrome

I've noticed a memory leak in Firefox as well. Browser Version 64.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 16.04, Vue Devtools version 4.1.5.

Same here, firefox quantum 65, devtools 4.1.5.

I noticed that refreshing the page (ctrl+R) grows memory quite fast when app (spa) built in 'dev' mode. Closing the tab and opening a new one frees the memory.

If the app is in prod mode, devtool plugin is not started and memory usage is normal.

hope that helps to reproduce issue.

Could you try with the latest 5.0 beta?

[dpiquet]

I still got the issue with 5.0.0 beta 4 installed from github releases.

Still an issue, one big nasty memory leak. I was wondering why my disk makes noise after a few hours of development and found out it was actually swapping. 10GB of RAM only Firefox 😂

I'm not sure if this is related, but a serious leak (~100MB/sec) occurs when I select a component which has a proxied object whose length is (being reported through the proxy as) 10^15. I guess it has to do with JSON stringification somewhere. Perhaps stringifier should not try to stringify everything at once?

Status of this bug should be elevated. I have to use Devtools in a secondary browser so that my tabs on primary browser don't crash when I have to kill the process due to memory leak.

Same for me. huge memory leak when refreshing it goes from 1GB of ram to 3Gb of ram used when refresh just 6 times.

[jcloutz]

Same for me, firefox gets up to around 6GB of ram in less than an hour of working.

[LockonZero]

Same here. I am working with a medium sized set of data and after refreshing a few times, Firefox is using ~5GB of RAM. Closing the tab and starting on a new one temporarily solves the problem
