Romuald Członkowski c8c76e435d fix: critical memory leak from per-session database connections (#554)
* fix: critical memory leak from per-session database connections (#542)

Each MCP session was creating its own database connection (~900MB),
causing OOM kills every ~20 minutes with 3-4 concurrent sessions.

Changes:
- Add SharedDatabase singleton pattern - all sessions share ONE connection
- Reduce session timeout from 30 min to 5 min (configurable)
- Add eager cleanup for reconnecting instances
- Fix telemetry event listener leak

Memory impact: ~900MB/session → ~68MB shared + ~5MB/session overhead

* fix: resolve test failures from shared database race conditions

- Fix `shutdown()` to respect shared database pattern (was directly closing)
- Add `await this.initialized` in both `close()` and `shutdown()` to prevent
  race condition where cleanup runs while initialization is in progress
- Add double-shutdown protection with `isShutdown` flag
- Export `SharedDatabaseState` type for proper typing
- Include error details in debug logs
- Add MCP server close to `shutdown()` for consistency with `close()`
- Null out `earlyLogger` in `shutdown()` for consistency

The CI test failure "The database connection is not open" was caused by:
1. `shutdown()` directly calling `this.db.close()` which closed the SHARED
   database connection, breaking subsequent tests
2. Race condition where `shutdown()` ran before initialization completed

* test: add unit tests for shared-database module

Add comprehensive unit tests covering:
- getSharedDatabase: initialization, reuse, different path error, concurrent requests
- releaseSharedDatabase: refCount decrement, double-release guard
- closeSharedDatabase: state clearing, error handling, re-initialization
- Helper functions: isSharedDatabaseInitialized, getSharedDatabaseRefCount

21 tests covering the singleton database connection pattern used to prevent
~900MB memory leaks per session.

Database Layer Unit Tests

This directory contains comprehensive unit tests for the database layer components of n8n-mcp.

Test Coverage

node-repository.ts - 100% Coverage

  • saveNode method with JSON serialization
  • getNode method with JSON deserialization
  • getAITools method
  • safeJsonParse private method
  • Edge cases: large JSON, boolean conversion, invalid JSON handling

template-repository.ts - 80.31% Coverage

  • FTS5 initialization and fallback
  • saveTemplate with sanitization
  • getTemplate and getTemplatesByNodes
  • searchTemplates with FTS5 and LIKE fallback
  • getTemplatesForTask with task mapping
  • Template statistics and maintenance operations
  • Uncovered: Some error paths in FTS5 operations

database-adapter.ts - Tested via Mocks

  • Interface compliance tests
  • PreparedStatement implementation
  • Transaction support
  • FTS5 detection logic
  • Error handling patterns

Test Strategy

The tests use a mock-based approach to:

  1. Isolate database operations from actual database dependencies
  2. Test business logic without requiring real SQLite/sql.js
  3. Ensure consistent test execution across environments
  4. Focus on behavior rather than implementation details

Key Test Files

  • node-repository-core.test.ts - Core NodeRepository functionality
  • template-repository-core.test.ts - Core TemplateRepository functionality
  • database-adapter-unit.test.ts - DatabaseAdapter interface and patterns

Running Tests

# Run all database tests
npm test -- tests/unit/database/

# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage -- tests/unit/database/

# Run specific test file
npm test -- tests/unit/database/node-repository-core.test.ts

Mock Infrastructure

The tests use custom mock implementations:

  • MockDatabaseAdapter - Simulates database operations
  • MockPreparedStatement - Simulates SQL statement execution
  • Mock logger and template sanitizer for external dependencies

This approach ensures tests are fast, reliable, and maintainable.
