Native Collection has not been disposed, resulting in a memory leak.

[NachtgeistW]

This happened in 2021.1. Every time I press "Play" button, they appear in console. I used com.unity.jobs and caught these:

A Native Collection has not been disposed, resulting in a memory leak. Allocated from:

Same here, its leaking memory

[vladfaust]

I can guess that UploadHandlerRaw shall be disposed properly @

unity-wakatime/Assets/com.vladfaust.unitywakatime/Editor/Plugin.cs

Line 145 in 72a7845

request.uploadHandler = new UploadHandlerRaw(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(heartbeatJSON));

I think the UnityWebRequest.Post needs to be wrapped in a using statement so that it disposes correctly have Dispose called manually in the completed callback.

I am pretty sure the native collection leak is something which only happens on more recent unity versions, as it is not a problem on pre 2021 versions from what I saw

I can go make a PR with fixes in if needed :)

[JayPeet]

PR is here: #31

[BrianLDev]

This bug is still happening and causing constant error messages in Unity. Can someone approve the PR that JayPeet created to fix this?

[vladfaust]

@BrianLDev

Actually, this sometimes still has the issue.

[BrianLDev]

Ah that's a shame. The error messages were getting annoying and I was hoping this would fix it.

[JayPeet]

Yeah, I need to investigate it properly still. Just been too busy :(

[vladfaust]

I'm not a Unity developer anymore. At least for now. Would be happy if someone takes over this repository. @Hermesiss?

[Hermesiss]

Yes, I'm still an active Unity developer. @vladfaust can you transfer this repo to me?

[vladfaust]

@Hermesiss let's begin with fixing this issue (you're a collaborator) 😃

[Hermesiss]

@JayPeet @NachtgeistW @HyperGamesDev Can you provide an example project? I can't reproduce this error

[HyperGamesDev]

my repository SSS222 had WakaTime before, sorry for the inconvenience but you'd have to add it once again now as I removed it(also the Jobs addon). Not sure when it appeared though so it may be difficult to reproduce

[HermesZum]

It's about Unity Engine

public UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation SendWebRequest()
in class UnityWebRequest
Begin communicating with the remote server.
External documentation for UnityWebRequest.SendWebRequest

If this operation can be replaced for other the problem will be solved.

for example, if you use the obsolete: Method 'UnityEngine.Networking.UnityWebRequest.Send' is obsolete: Use SendWebRequest. It returns a UnityWebRequestAsyncOperation which contains a reference to the WebRequest object.

The leak disapear.

Hello! Curious if this has been investigated yet.
