Memory leaks in Power BI custom visuals

In the last few days I connected the dots between several requests I received, and I've found that when custom visuals are created and removed frequently in a report, the browser (or the process CefS...

embaud, Is there a fix planned for this issue? We are facing similar issue and our report pages have other custom visuals as well, including Chiclet slicers.

 

The customer finds the report to be unusable, as not all the client computers have RAM > 4GB. The behavior is observed in both IE as well as Chrome.

As far as I know, Power BI Custom Visual API team is still working on this issue.

We'll update status once we have some news.

    Hi Ignat,

     

    We have a production release which is put on hold because of this issue. This issue impacts the whole project and the customer may shy away from PowerBI becuase of this issue.

     

    Is there a way where an accelerated solution is worked on for this issue and a fix released?

     

    This has really become a show stopper for us in rolling out the reports to production for the customer.

     

    Regards,

    Ashish

      Hello Ashish,

       

      I'm really sorry to hear that. Power BI Custom Visuals API team is working hard to fix this issue (I'll try to get deatails).

      Current workaround is to reduce amount of custom visuals on the same page. Might this workaround be applied for your case?

        Hi Ignat,

         

        Appreciate your quick response and efforts in assisting us on this and would appreciate any further information.

         

        We are using custom control as we are migrating existing reports for the customer and they want to have functionality as close to the existing ones as possible. If we remove custom visuals, then we lose the functionality that the customer is used to and would again put the adaption of PowerBI on risk.

         

        Thanks,

        Ashish
