How to get full Valgrind report in Builder?

Platform
9

FYI, I’ve finally found a way to run Valgrind with arbitrary options on the executable within the runtime. Here’s the trick:

  1. Run Gnome builder with Flatpak from the command line: flatpak run --runtime=org.gnome.Sdk org.gnome.Builder
  2. In another terminal window use the command flatpak ps to get the instance id for the builder
  3. Finally run Valgrind using flatpak: flatpak enter <INSTANCE_ID> valgrind [VALGRIND_OPTIONS] <EXECUTABLE>

Example: flatpak enter 4198261558 valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --show-leak-kinds=all --log-file="/home/vezir/Projects/fluidapp/valgrind.log" /home/vezir/.var/app/org.gnome.Builder/cache/gnome-builder/projects/fluidapp/builds/de.teamaux.Fluidapp.json-flatpak-org.gnome.Platform-42-x86_64-master/src/fluidapp
