So, it is a feature or a bug that in
ComposeTest
the lifecycle aware composer is replaced with one controlled by the test? As far as I can tell, this makes it such that things aren't disposed when they would be outside a test environment, and it's causing us memory leaks in the test. More details in the thread.
We have this test rule chain set up. However, there currently isn't a way to introduce the compose test rule without either: 1. Erroring because an activity was launched before the compose test rule started 2. Erroring because we detect leaks before the compose rule disposes things.

Btw these leaks manifest because an AndroidComposeView is removed from the view hierarchy (as part of normal navigation in the test) before end of test & activity destroy.
The compose test rule cleans up its bad references at the end of the test.. better than no cleaning up, but still not good. All refs to a view should be let go as soon as its detached.
Mmm re reading the trace maybe I got that one wrong as it seems the activity is destroyed here. Same principle though, activities come and go during a test, cleanup should happen as soon as activities are gone and not just at the end of a test rule

Please file a bug - or did you file one for the symptom? I can update it with these details if you don’t have permission

I have not filed a bug yet. I can file one!
