I'm developing a library and using XCTest for unit tests. While trying to profile the test suite, I noticed that Instruments seems to report a leak every single time the async throwing setup function is called, no matter what.
For example,
This will report a leak:
final class LeakTests: XCTestCase {
override func setUp() async throws {
try await super.setUp()
}
func testLeak() async throws {
try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 5_000_000_000)
}
}
This will not report a leak:
final class LeakTests: XCTestCase {
// override func setUp() async throws {
// try await super.setUp()
// }
func testLeak() async throws {
try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 5_000_000_000)
}
}
Any ideas on why this might be happening, or should I just file a bug report? It makes it quite difficult to use the leak detection for unit tests, as it shows hundreds of leaks when the whole suite is ran.
