The actual "leak test" is much simpler, it just loads a few web pages and quits.
The only valuable thing we're losing from shutting this off is tracemalloc coverage, which we don't have elsewhere. I don't have any evidence to show that anyone has actually looked at the tracemalloc data or done anything useful with it in recent history, though. Leaks discovered by tracemalloc don't make the test fail, so we're not measuring much there. -Ted _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
