Sahi Controller Leaks Memory

Raju Surapuraju

Using Sahi for functional stress testing and the controller leaks memory after using for sometime.... and when Sahi Contrller is closed it releases memory and gets it back to normal. This is noticed on IE, Chrome and FF (this may also be the case with other browsers...) Otherwise this tool works well...

Thanks and appreciate help! with this...

I think this has to do with the fact that the controller logs each step into a textarea. There's a very noticeable slow-down when running an extensive script in the controller. Running from the command-line has helped me.

Thanks KChan. Started using Command Line execution for Sahi scripts.. and no memory leaks now.

I made changes to the displayLogs function in controller7.js which only displays (and keeps in memory) the last n statements in the playback textarea element. The new function looks as follows:


function displayLogs(s, i) {
if (i == null){ // for stop PlayBack messages
if ($("talogs").value.match(s+"[\r\n]*$")) return;
}
if ((""+i) != $("currentStep").innerHTML) {
$("talogs").value += s + "\n";

// limit the number of items displayed in playback textarea
try {
var items = $("talogs").value.split("\n");
items = items.slice(-25);
$("talogs").value = items.join("\n");
} catch (e) {
}

scrollDown($("talogs"));
}

Thanks Jim,

That code seems to be from Sahi Pro. To make it work in Sahi define scrollDown function like this:

function scrollDown(el){
    el.scrollTop = el.scrollHeight;
}

Hello Narayan,

I noticed the problem is still present in version v3.5_20110314. Is there a reason why this isn't fixed in the free version?
