Huge memory leak after installing python package via requirements file #21454
Description
Type: Bug
Steps
Have the following open in vscode preview:
- file explorer, python jupyter notebook, pdf in pdf viewer extension, power terminals, several background tabs
In an integrated powershell terminal: - activate local python 3.11 environment (which has several packages installed)
- use
pip install -r requirements.txtto update packages that are supposed to be added (I believe it was only seaborn and it's dependencies) (I'll put the actual file below)
Expected result
Python package is installed and ready to be used.
Actual result
Something went wrong and fills up the ram completely. The whole system is in a degraded state where the mouse even barely moves and no windows can be manipulated. The task manager even falls back to a minimal mode with other font and can't act. He does however show 100% ram and Disk1 usage.
Since the task manager is not correctly responding and can't end the task the window had to be closed normally. Which took around 10 minutes to complete this action.
As soon as the vscode window was closed, ram usage dropped 15 gb to a normal level. After some more time and disk1 usage, the system went back to normal.
I don't know if this is a problem with pip/python, the python extension or vscode itself, but I figured I'll report this anyways.
Specific information
Here is the requirements.txt I used for the pip command: requirements.txt
Packages actually installed:
Installing collected packages: pyparsing, Pillow, kiwisolver, fonttools, cycler, contourpy, matplotlib, seaborn
Successfully installed Pillow-9.5.0 contourpy-1.0.7 cycler-0.11.0 fonttools-4.39.4 kiwisolver-1.4.4 matplotlib-3.7.1 pyparsing-3.0.9 seaborn-0.12.2
The enormous ram usage start right after the installation finished. It might have been something regarding me typing in the jupyter notebook. Maybe parsing the import statement of seaborn.
Side note: after reopening, vscode correctly restored everything, including the perviously openend files, their changes and terminal history.
