We simply add a dependency on our build. The next time we install and run our app, LeakCanary will be running alongside it. As we navigate through our app, LeakCanary will pause occasionally to dump the memory and provide leak traces of detected leaks.
This one step is vastly better than what we had before. We can do better! LeakCanary provides a very handy code recipe for uploading found leaks to Bugsnag. Another way to improve automation is to hook up LeakCanary to CI tests. Again, we are given a code recipe to start with. From the official documentation:. LeakCanary provides an artifact dedicated to detecting leaks in UI tests which provides a run listener that waits for the end of a test, and if the test succeeds then it looks for retained objects, trigger a heap dump if needed and perform an analysis.
Be aware that LeakCanary will slow down testing, as it dumps the heap after each test to which it listens. In our case, because of our selective testing and sharding set up , the extra time added is negligible. Our end result is that memory leaks are surfaced just as any other build or test failure on CI, with the leak trace at the time of the leak recorded.
Running LeakCanary on CI has helped us learn better coding patterns, especially when it comes to new libraries, before any code hits production. For example, it caught this leak when we were working with MvRx mocks:. Adding a few lines of code avoids the leak:. You may be wondering: Since this memory leak only happens in tests, is it really that important to fix? It can help teach engineers to write more robust code—in this case, we learned about the existence of clearAllMocks.
The leak trace provided by LeakCanary will be the single most useful tool for diagnosing a leak. Is inheritance involved? If instances of sub classes are stored in pointers of a any base class, do all base classes contain proper virtual destructors? Is memory allocated with new , malloc or similar? Is this memory cleaned up with delete , delete[] or free or similar?

Nobody quite seems to know. We buy a lot of music and we pirate a lot of music. I do think you can build supporting fans out of free, stolen music. So I have to try to support that, and the best way to beat it is make great physical product and make it available across the big digital platforms. We also have these big fan reward projects like the Advent Calendar that I think make people fight for us and support our releases. She freely accepted that, had that happened to her, it would have been heartbreaking, because even though her record leaked in low quality, at least the songs were effectively finished.
Releasing records is often about so much more than just the music. It might have been messier…. My gut reaction was immediately like that. A leak can ruin that. As with most things, a brain and a heart outweigh everything.
