trade-offer-manager cookies memory leak?

[dlclvlupbot]

steps I did,
log in
set community cookies
still(200-300mb)
set manager cookies(1.1-1.2gb)
after 10-15minutes, node instance crash with core dump
nothing else has been started in bot script

[Dr. McKay]

You might need to delete your poll data.

[dlclvlupbot]

sorry noob question: how?

[Dr. McKay]

It's in the directory pertaining to your platform as documented here, although replace "node-steamuser" with "node-steam-tradeoffer-manager".

[dlclvlupbot]

sorry for taking too long to reply

so, I deleted everything from the directory and the directory itself

it is still running around 1.5-1.8gb ram eventhough there's literally no tradable items in the said account compared to the new account where I transferred all of the items, running the same script with just 300-500mb of ram(the buggy account is only run until saving trade-offer-manager cookies)

 

[Dr. McKay]

Does it have tons of trade offers in its near history or something?

[dlclvlupbot]

it has 250 incoming offer history and 500 sent offer history

 

edit: no pending for both category

That could contribute to memory usage for sure.

[dlclvlupbot]

is there a way to clear them up?

btw: here's my instance of tradeoffermanger

steamtrademanager = new TradeOfferManager({
 'steam': steam,
 'language': 'en',
 'pollInterval': 5 * 1 * 1000,
 'cancelTime': 1000 * 60 * settings.canceltime,// has value of 30
 'pendingCancelTime': 1000 * 60 * settings.pendingcanceltime // has value of 1
});

Removing the language from the constructor will certainly reduce memory usage if that's a huge concern for you, but of course you'll lose item description data. If all you really need is the items' asset IDs, then that will work.

but that wont fix the cookies problem from the account?

[dlclvlupbot]

I am okay with it running 1.5gb2gb  but then after around 10-20minutes it crashes with core dump and i have a 3gb server. 

[Dr. McKay]

Keeping data about item descriptions in memory is going to use memory.

You can try lowering assetCacheMaxItems.

is it possible to get item descriptions without specifying language in the constructor?

if I set it to 0 and i set a directory in dataDirectory, will it save me memory usage or 0 and 500 does not have much difference?

That might help.

i think i'll just have to do it via commands since the bot can access item's market name and market hash name even without specifying language in the constructor.

btw is it okay to set language in the constructor as blank or really have to remove the language option upon instantiating it?

because i want to run my bot with the option of having it enabled or not and access the language from a json file, blank to disable and en to set

[Dr. McKay]

If the language is specified at all, it's going to retrieve item descriptions from Steam.
