NAME

Catalyst::Controller::LeakTracker - Inspect leaks found by Catalyst::Plugin::LeakTracker

SYNOPSIS

        package MyApp;

        use Catalyst qw/
                LeakTracker
        /;

        ####

        package MyApp::Controller::Leaks;
        use base qw/Catalyst::Controller::LeakTracker/;

    sub default : Private { 
        my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
        $c->forward("list_request"); # if you are so inclined
    }

    1; 

DESCRIPTION

This controller uses Catalyst::Controller::LeakTracker to display leak info on a per request basis.

ACTIONS

list_requests

List the leaking requests this process has handled so far.

If the all parameter is set to a true value, then all requests (even non leaking ones) are listed.

request $request_id

Detail the leaks for a given request, and also dump the event log for that request.

object $request_id $event_id

Detail the object created in $event_id.

Displays a stack dump, a Devel::Cycle report, and a Data::Dumper output.

If the maxdepth param is set, $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth is set to that value.

make_leak [ $how_many ]

Artificially leak some objects, to make sure everything is working properly

CAVEATS

In forking environments each child will have it's own leak tracking. To avoid confusion run your apps under the development server or temporarily configure fastcgi or whatever to only use one child process.

TODO

This is yucky example code. But it's useful. Patches welcome.

Template::Declare

Instead of yucky HTML strings

CSS

I can't do that well, I didn't bother trying

Nicer displays
    <pre> ... </pre>

Only goes so far...

The event log is in most dire need for this.

Sorting, filtering etc

Of objects, requests, etc. Javascript or serverside, it doesn't matter.

JSON/YAML/XML feeds

Maybe it's useful for someone.
