✨ CatalystX::LeakChecker ✨ (that's the Cataly...hecker(3pm) page bestie 💖)

okay so real talk — this is CatalystX::LeakChecker, a Perl module that hunts down memory leaks in your Catalyst apps, and honestly? iconic behaviour. 🕵️♀️✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

CatalystX::LeakChecker — debug memory leaks in Catalyst applications, no cap 💅

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.06 — yeah she's a little vintage but she WORKS 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly bestie:

package MyApp;
use namespace::autoclean;

extends 'Catalyst';
with 'CatalystX::LeakChecker';

__PACKAGE__->setup;

like that's it. that's the whole setup. slay. 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

ngl, it is SO easy to create memory leaks in Catalyst applications, and the way they're often impossible to find?? 💀 genuinely the worst feeling. This module tries to help you find them by automatically checking for common causes of leaks. main character energy fr fr. 🔥

BIG WARNING bestie: this module is intended for debugging only. The original author suggests not enabling it in a production environment. So do NOT ship this to prod, okay?? I'm serious. 🙈

✨ METHODS ✨

🔍 found_leaks(@leaks)

If any leaks were found, this method gets called at the end of each request. A list of leaks gets passed to it. Then it logs a debug message like this:

[debug] Circular reference detected:
+------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+
| $ctx->{stash}->{ctx}                                                   |
'------------------------------------------------------+-----------------'

she's also able to find leaks in code references 👀 and a debug message for that might look like this:

[debug] Circular reference detected:
+------------------------------------------------------+-----------------+
| $a = $ctx->{stash}->{leak_closure};                                    |
| code reference $a deparses to: sub {                                   |
|     package TestApp::Controller::Affe;                                 |
|     use warnings;                                                      |
|     use strict 'refs';                                                 |
|     $ctx->response->body('from leaky closure');                        |
| };                                                                     |
| ${ $ctx }                                                              |
'------------------------------------------------------+-----------------'

look at that deparse. she's telling on herself. 💀

Override this method if you want leaks to be reported differently — go off, customise your little heart out. 🎨
