@pullapprove pullapprove bot requested a review from gkalpak December 2, 2020 13:54
Currently we're storing the real injector on the element inside the
`ParentInjectorPromise` and its `resolve()` method. This causes a memory leak
if we don't remove the reference when the component is destroyed.

We also setup the `$destroy` listener and never release it, the problem
is that this listener captures `this`, as long as there is a reference,
`this` will not be GC'd.

LGTM but it has been a while since I look at ngUpgrade code.
@gkalpak will probably have more to say :-)

Basically, the DowngradeComponentAdapter (and all its resources) are released.

gkalpak added a commit to gkalpak/angular that referenced this pull request Dec 3, 2020
Previously, due to the way the AngularJS and Angular clean-up processes
interfere with each other when removing an AngularJS element that
contains a downgraded Angular component, the data associated with the
host element of the downgraded component was not removed. This data was
kept in an internal AngularJS cache, which prevented the element and
component instance from being garbage-collected, leading to memory
leaks.

This commit fixes this by ensuring the element data is explicitly
removed when cleaning up a downgraded component.

NOTE:
This is essentially the equivalent of angular#26209 but for downgraded (instead
of upgraded) components.

Fixes angular#39911
Closes angular#39921

Thx for working on this, @arturovt 👍

While reviewing your PR, it thought it was "suspicious" that we had to clean up stuff that would normally be cleaned up automatically. So I dug deeper to understand why it wasn't being clean up.

In a nutshell, it happens because (under some circumstances) Angular will remove the component host element from the DOM before AngularJS has a chance to clean it up. See here for more details.

Based on the above, I have created #39965 with an alternative fix, which I think is simpler and more consistent with how things would work in a pure AngularJS app. I would appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know what you think?

BTW, you can also grab the build artifacts from my PR (see here for more info) and use them in a sample app in order to verify the fix.

I've played with your changes and it seems to work (the adapter is released successfully). Nice job!
