I have a public repository. Feel free to check it out and click around.

http://trac.genaud.net/index.fcgi/changeset/35

This changeset query (and many others) fail with the following message:

Trac detected an internal error:

Well, I just went to this changeset, and it failed mid-processing as well, with a different error (Not Found, "No handler matched request to /internal_error.html"). I think this is a "simple" out-of-memory condition, which has nothing to do with the text.replace line. You can prevent this to happen by tweaking the default settings for viewing changesets (see TracIni#changeset-section).

In the future we might produce the diffs in a streamed way, instead of building all the data in memory first. I'm not 100% sure if this is possible though, due to all the conversions from stream to list that may happen during the processing and rendering of templates. cmlenz could better comment on this than me.

Hi cboos,

This message always occurs the first time:

(Not Found, "No handler matched request to /internal_error.html")

I've found if I reload the page I get the stack trace — a very helpful feature! There seems to be some check like "if this page has just been requested and it failed both times, print a message with a stack trace directing user to the Trac ticket page".

Anyway, I grok that the generated page would be enormous, and am not personally concerned, but there really *MUST* be a pre-check: if the difference is greater than some limit the page should be broken up… for example, just listing the changed files so that the user can select the individual file changeset. If there is a single file with enormous changes who knows maybe just: "sorry this change was simply too massive".

Replying to alex@genaud.net:

Anyway, I grok that the generated page would be enormous, and am not personally concerned, but there really *MUST* be a pre-check

This is already implemented, see TracIni#changeset-section as cboos already mentioned: when too many files are involved or the output diff is too large, Trac only shows up the list of changed files, with links to individual changesets.

comment:4 by Christian Boos, 17 years ago

I also wonder if the defaults values for the max_… settings shouldn't be adapted for 0.11. What is the memory available for Trac on this machine, and can you monitor the memory usage while rendering this changeset?

comment:5 by Christian Boos, 17 years ago

Keywords: memory needinfo added
Version: 0.10.3

Some more testing on my side:

  • retrieving the diff text for that rev. 35 gives a 4Mbytes file.
  • attaching and rendering that file in a Trac using tracd on windows gives an increase from the base 20 Mbytes to 86 Mbytes memory usage (86 Mbytes at peak)
  • a second rendering of the same file makes the memory usage jump to 104 MBytes (141 peak) and after that it stabilizes at 110 Mbytes (141 peak) and the memory seems to be reused

Those numbers were obtained with 0.11. Re-doing the same test with 0.10-stable, I get a stabilization at 60 Mbytes (90 peak).

So while the memory usage seems to be quite costly, this should nevertheless still be ok on today's machines.

I'm still interested to get some information about your memory usage before closing the ticket.

Hi, I am using a shared host (dreamhost). I'd be happy to help you collect more information, if you wanna contact me directly (alex at genaud.net). Here's a cut-and-paste top at random intervals:

Well, nothing terrible here in the memory usage. I wonder though if there isn't some kind of rlimit set by the hosting provider (see #4885). Can you check that?
