WebWorker consuming memory incrementing continually
Html5Coder
I am writing some code to setup a basic webworker to test it.
I have a main html page that sets up the worker then the worker sends
back a timestamp to the main page.
This works, however the problem is that if you look at the chrome task
manager the memory for the webworker process continues to increment??
After a period of time when the memory gets large, the worker stops
responding.
Below is the code I am using:
WORKERTEST.HTM
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>Worker example</title>
<script>
worker = new Worker('worker.js');
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="results">RESULT</div>
<script>
worker.onmessage = function (event) {
var data = event.data;
document.getElementById('results').innerHTML= data;
};
worker.postMessage();
</script>
</body>
</html>
WORKER.JS
onmessage = function (event) {
setInterval("run()",1);
}
function run(){
response=new Date().getTime();
postMessage(response);
}
Can any explain to me why the web worker continues to increase in
memory size while running?
Is this usual?

not happening as you suggested.
Have logged bug for this and waiting for response.
This occurs with any setInterval period, was set to 1 to show memory
leak happening quicker.
Thanks
