Collect memory snapshot in Visual Studio
- Go to ReSharper | Help | Report a Bug or Submit a Feature (for Visual Studio versions 2019 and higher: "Extensions | ReSharper | Help | Report a Bug or Submit a Feature"). If you are getting any errors, please check the What can go wrong list below.
- Select Performance problem in Problem category combobox.
- Hit the "green cross" icon next to "Attachments" text | select "Memory Snapshot".
Note: on a 1st run self-profiling tool will be downloaded from the JetBrains server, download times may vary so please be patient.
- Memory snapshot will be collected automatically (the process will take about 1 minute), you will see "Getting memory snapshot". When it is completed, "Snapshot devenv.{someID}.dmw" file will be available in the Attachments section.
- Provide a good Subject and Description of the memory issue you experience.
- When the memory report is complete, you'll be able to upload the snapshot to our FTP server by clicking on Submit button
What can go wrong:
- For some reason uploading procedure has failed: Open a file location (Context menu for an attached snapshot | Open File Location) and upload the snapshot file manually to JB servers as described here https://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207635255-Uploading-Large-Files-for-JetBrains-Support-Team or share such file with us using any cloud services like Dropbox, GoogleDisk, etc.
- If devenv.exe allocates more 2.5 Gb memory and is going to crash with OOM exception, please try collecting a memory dump using standalone dotMemory, since the crash might happen during a snapshot's uploading.
