JavaScript heap out of memory - cli on linux

[busquedad (Facundo Duart)]

Hi everyone,

I’m running a Postman collection on a home server running Linux Ubuntu 22.04 TLS. The command I’m using is:

markdownCopy code

postman collection run 16538739-47292400-f53f-4e92-9754-******** -e 16538739-7a248856-61a9-414f-b025-********** -i 16538739-550cdac1-63aa-4bdc-81ad-******** -n 68454 --verbose | tee -a file.txt

This command executes one request and saves one response. The execution involves a pre-request script to iterate through an internal “document” variable in the body of the request.

Pre-Request Script:

javascriptCopy code

let documents = pm.environment.get("documents");

if (!documents || documents.length == 0) {
    documents = [
        #########
    ];
}

let currentdocument = documents.shift();
pm.environment.set("document", currentdocument);
pm.environment.set("documents", documents);

The test is simple, validating an HTTP status code to identify errors:

javascriptCopy code

pm.test("Status code is 200", function () {
    pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});

However, during iteration 11**, the process crashes and the error message is:

The home server is a Celeron 2.4 with 4GB of RAM. It’s an older machine. The Linux system is new, and no other processes are running.

this same runner in windows (in other computer) consumed ram but not all

Any insights on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
