perf(html-report): stream report JSON through pooled chunks and overlap sidecar serialization - #6860
Conversation
…ap sidecar serialization Cuts the default-on HTML reporter's teardown cost on large suites without changing report content (sidecar JSON byte-identical, embedded HTML payload byte-identical after gzip+base64 decode). - Add SegmentedBufferWriter (pooled, append-only IBufferWriter<byte>). Both the sidecar serializer and the HTML renderer JSON now write into it instead of Utf8JsonWriter -> MemoryStream (grow-and-copy) -> ToArray / GetString. Sidecar files are streamed chunk by chunk (AtomicFile/ReportAggregator overloads); the renderer JSON is gzipped straight from UTF-8 chunks, never materialized as a 22MB UTF-16 string or re-encoded. - Serialize the sidecar on another core while the HTML is generated and written; reuse it when the GitHub integration returns no artifact URL, otherwise re-serialize with the URL as before. - Pick the gzip level by runtime: on .NET 9+ (zlib-ng) Optimal is ~2x faster and ~3% smaller than SmallestSize for report JSON; .NET 8 keeps SmallestSize. - ActivityCollector: per-trace spans kept in a small locked list instead of a ConcurrentQueue per test; tags/events/links read via Activity's struct Enumerate* APIs instead of LINQ ToArray. - Cache the assembly name tag on the test-case span instead of calling Assembly.GetName() per test. 10k trivial tests (net10.0): process allocations 461MB -> 289MB; post-session reporter time ~810ms -> ~580ms (median); HTML report 1.94MB -> 1.88MB.

One non-blocking observation, not raised as an issue: No compile checks or test runs were performed in this review pass (sandboxed environment); this is a static read of the diff and surrounding code, cross-checked against the reference assemblies where the correctness question depended on it. |

- Line 31: Update the fallback after TrySwap in the AtomicFile write flow to
throw an IOException instead of calling WriteBuffer on the destination path.
Preserve the temporary-file write and successful TrySwap behavior, and ensure a
failed atomic replacement does not publish the sidecar in place.

Summary
The HTML reporter and JSON sidecar are on by default, so every run pays for them. Profiling a 10,000-test suite (the
Bareshape from meziantou's framework benchmark) put the reporter at ~318 MB allocated and ~800 ms of work after the session ends. That work is inside the process wall clock the benchmark measures.Where the cost went:
ReportDataJson.SerializeToByteswrote into anArrayBufferWriterthat grew by doubling and copying (~68 MB ofbyte[]). It then flushed into aMemoryStreamthat also grows, and finally calledToArray(), which copied the ~20 MB payload once more.HtmlReportGeneratorfollowed the same growth pattern. It then decoded the whole JSON into a ~22 MB UTF-16 string, only to re-encode it for gzip + base64.ConcurrentQueueper test plus LINQToArrayover tags, events and links.Changes:
SegmentedBufferWriter: a new append-onlyIBufferWriter<byte>backed by pooled 256 KB chunks that are never resized or copied. Both JSON outputs write into it.byte[]versions of the write methods remain for existing callers and tests.Optimalis about 2× faster thanSmallestSizeon this payload and about 3% smaller, so it is used there. .NET 8 keepsSmallestSize, where it is 8% smaller. The choice is made at runtime.ActivityCollector: each trace's spans go into a small locked list. Tags, events and links are read without LINQ.TestExecutor: caches the assembly name used for the test-case span instead of callingAssembly.GetName()per test.Report content is unchanged:

That is still far below the baseline.
