We've encountered a problem in Shopify production where unnecessary controller context is being retained by the
sym_proc_cache
. The problem is the creation of the proc from the symbol is in the context of a controller - as a result, when the proc is cached insym_proc_cache
, the controller and all of its context is being cached along with it. This causes memory to be unnecessarily retained beyond the lifetime of a request.Our proposed solution is to not include local variables in the proc's environment context. As far as I can tell, it should not be possible to access local variables from a Proc when using
to_proc
.
