    Testing with native containers is kind of a pain right now. Are there any hooks available to get access to the tracking information that unity does on them? So we could ensure they get disposed in teardown?

    Not exactly a help, but maybe there will be a talk at Unite Berlin about automated testing and ECS & Jobsystem by @superpig. I'd like to see some more info about it too.

    Not yet. What you could try to do, is force a GC collection, and then check the error log, where we report leaks. Given the nature of the way we track memory leaks on native data structures, triggering a GC collection will make sure finalizers on 
    DisposeSentinel
    s get invoked, and thus leaks should be reported.

    You can check our unit tests in the package source, there should be some examples that might be useful as a guide.
