Possible memory leak? about node-telegram-bot-api HOT 8 CLOSED

I am interested in this too. I also notice a small but constant memory usage increase.

from node-telegram-bot-api.

The leak might be on https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api/blob/master/src/telegramPolling.js#L50 there is an infinite loop which I should fix ...

Could this be fixed by replacing the timeout with a set interval?

Could be if its called outside. The matter of using an interval is that the function could be called before the previously one haven't finished. That behavior must be avoided.

I tried limiting node with --max_old_space_size but it doesn't seem to work (same behavior). Both bots are just rarely used, and anyhow it seems like the leak starts before my own code is even reached.

Seems the option is --max-old-space-size.

Which NodeJS version are you using? Seems v4 have improved in memory usage. I changed the _polling method a bit, seems the memory still increasing in node v0.12.4 but slowly and hope it converge to smaller number. With v4.2.4 increases till 50MB and stops.

I tried both --max-old-space-size and --max_old_space_size before, none seemed to work.

Anyhow, I just upgraded Node.JS's version to 5.4 (was running 0.10.25...) and upgraded node-telegram-bot-api, and the problem seem to be gone. it's been 24 hours I can't recognize no signal for the leak.

Thank you!

With the recent changes, I believe this issue might be fixed. We are also running bots using this library, and we do not have any memleak problems.

If this issue still persists for you (with the new versions, of course), please provide us with more information, such as, the average number of users your bot is serving, RAM size in your server, etc.

Otherwise, am marking this issue as stale to be closed at a later date, should no activity be seen in this thread!
