| Subject: | SVN::Client appears to bleed open files |
I apologize in advance for the crappiness of this bug report; I wiped
the exact error off my screen in my haste to get a needed process
running again. When/if it happens again (seemingly in about 2 days) I
will add it to this ticket.
Basically, I think SVN::Client is bleeding open files. I'm holding an
instance of it inside an object inside a long-running process which
checks repositories for updates every few minutes. After between 2 and 3
days it consumes all available file descriptors and just starts throwing
the same error over and over again. The error says "too many open
files", and some other boilerplate-looking stuff which, as described
above, I neglected to transcribe.
My usage is pretty simple. There's one of these calls:
$ctx->info($loc, undef, $rev, \&update_helper, 0);
which is the one that happens every few minutes, and then one of these
$newrev = $ctx->update($wc, 'HEAD', 1)
which happens *far* less frequently.
