JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Core.JsRuntimeException: Out of memory.

[ashkansiroos]

Hi Andrey,
First of, thanks for the awesome libraries. YOU ROCK!

Secondly, I have reactjs.net installed with JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Core and JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore.
I've tried an stress test and IIS stopped working after 2 hours. saying:

JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Core.JsRuntimeException: Out of memory.
Line: 0
Column:0
at React.ReactEnvironment.Execute[T](String code)

Unfortunately because of the wrapper around the exception, I cannot say what is causing it.
To investigate more, I tried different scenarios and I've found out when I add a space into web.config which will cause the IIS to restart the application, the IIS thread will start growing little by little and after a while IIS will crash even if the stress test is stopped with error:

Application: w3wp.exe

Description: The process was terminated due to an internal error in the .NET Runtime at IP 5A3A86F1 (5A0F0000) with exit code 80131506.

and

I've also made a post on stack-overflow, but I wasn't sure what is causing this and if it is the EngineSwitcher, or the JSPool that causes the error so I've just described the situation.

Hello, Ashkan!

Most likely, reason for this error is that your web application is not enough memory.

There are two ways to solve this problem:

1. Increase application pool size.
2. Optimize executable JavaScript code.

[Taritsyn]

Unfortunately because of the wrapper around the exception, I cannot say what is causing it.

In next release I will add the original exception as the inner exception.

[ashkansiroos]

@Taritsyn Thanks for the fast reply. But if that is the case, why my IIS memory usage is growing all the time?
It easily gets to 2GB of RAM after half an hour for 15 pages with stress testing and it keeps growing little by little until I stop the test.
Any idea about that?

[Taritsyn]

Why did you decide, that the cause of memory leak is the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore? Have you tried to use the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8 instead of the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore?

[Taritsyn]

In next release I will add the original exception as the inner exception.

This functionality is implemented in version 2.4.7.

[ashkansiroos]

Why did you decide, that the cause of memory leak is the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore
I didn't :) I didn't have the stack trace so I really don't know.

I've tried to install version 2.4.7 but as you know JSPool 2.0.1 is not compatible with JavaScriptEngineSwitcher 2.4 and adding ".AddChakraCore()" or "engineSwitcher.DefaultEngineName = ChakraCoreJsEngine.EngineName" didn't help so I'm cloning the "JSPool" and "React" project to see how far I can go with the tracing and testing.

[Taritsyn]

… or "engineSwitcher.DefaultEngineName = ChakraCoreJsEngine.EngineName" …

This feature is not supported by current version of the React.NET (read discussion).

… didn't help …

Just need to configure the JavaScript Engine Switcher before registration of the React.NET (see Daniel's comment).

[ashkansiroos]

@Taritsyn I've read Daniel's comment several times before I try to clone the project and based on that I have:

    public class JsEngineSwitcherConfig
    {
        public static void Configure(JsEngineSwitcher engineSwitcher)
        {
            engineSwitcher.EngineFactories.AddChakraCore();
            engineSwitcher.DefaultEngineName = ChakraCoreJsEngine.EngineName;
        }
    }

But I get the exception below, so I guess I didn't understand what he meant. Could you please help me with that?

• System.TypeLoadException: Method 'Evaluate' in type 'JSPool.JsEngineWithOwnThread' from assembly 'JSPool, Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=2fc7775f73072640' does not have an implementation.

[Taritsyn]

Where you call the JsEngineSwitcherConfig.Configure method?

[ashkansiroos]

In my Application_start() in my global.asax

[Taritsyn]

Give an example of the Application_start() code.

[ashkansiroos]

    protected void Application_Start()
        {
            Logger.Warning("Application Start");
            GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);

            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            JsEngineSwitcherConfig.Configure(JsEngineSwitcher.Instance);
         }

[ashkansiroos]

just to add some info:
.net framework: 4.6.2
IIS 10 on Windows 10.

[Taritsyn]

Move the call of JsEngineSwitcherConfig.Configure method from a global.asax file into the App_Start/ReactConfig.cs file (before all the React.NET settings).
