Collect a ReSharper memory snapshot in Visual Studio
Question
How do I collect a ReSharper memory snapshot in Visual Studio and send it to JetBrains?
Answer
- In Visual Studio, select ReSharper | Help | Profile Visual Studio. In Visual Studio 2019 and later, the ReSharper menu can be under Extensions.
- In Problem category, select Performance problem.
- Next to Attachments, click the + icon and select the Memory snapshot. On the first run, ReSharper downloads the self-profiling tool, which can take some time.
- Wait while ReSharper shows Getting memory snapshot. This takes about one minute. When it finishes, the snapshot file appears under Attachments.
- Enter a Subject and a Description of the memory problem.
- Click Submit.
If the upload fails:
- Right-click the snapshot under Attachments and select Open File Location.
- Upload the file to JetBrains Upload Service, or share it through a cloud storage service.
If Visual Studio runs out of memory and crashes before the snapshot is submitted, collect the snapshot with standalone dotMemory.
