I am getting following when trying to run performance test in latest version ( 11.83.4)
Hey @dkumarihami 
Welcome to the Postman Community 
That doesn’t seem right - are you using any external NPM packages in your Collections?
Do you only see this on the Performance testing runs or also in the Collection Runs?
I am not using any NPM packages. It is just a simple get request I was trying out. This only happens when I try to run them from following.
Thanks for confirming.
Are you able to recreate a brand new Performance Testing Run in a new tab, does this also show the same issue?
It might be a good idea to do a Clear Cache and Reload from the top level Help menu first, just to ensure there’s nothing else happening here.
Yes I tried both u have suggested but no luck!
What I see is when tying to run the performance test it tries to download something from
https://registry.npmjs.org/%40duckdb%2Fnode-api/-/node-api-1.3.2-alpha.26.tgz
And then throws this error:
Failed to initialize performance testing system: Timeout downloading https://registry.npmjs.org/%40duckdb%2Fnode-api/-/node-api-1.3.2-alpha.26.tgz

Sorry this isn’t resolved for you yet. Which OS are you using?
Do you have any proxy or firewalls setup that blocks any downloads from npm registry?
OS - Windows 11
There is the possibility that any downloads are blocked from the office network.

Hope this document helps you to resolve the issue, let us know otherwise
Getting the same issue. Just started all of the sudden without any environment changes.
Hi, did the troubleshooting document help resolve the initialization error?
If you’re still blocked, please make sure you’re on the latest version of the app. If the error persists, sharing your logs would be the best next step for us to investigate further.
@dkumarihami — just checking in to see if you’re still experiencing this issue or if you’re all set?
Yes, we are experiencing the same issue.
I see someone else has posted as well (and so did I).
I am able to download the performance package from https://performance-test-artifacts.getpostman.com , with curl, where I can explicitly specify our org’s proxy.
Postman’s proxy settings are only used for sending test request… any chance we can specify a proxy for download/upgrades?
@dkumarihami
Please use the latest version v11.88.3 or v12.1.3 on which fix is available.
Let us know if you are unblocked or not
