Hi. I have a test that, among many other things, uploads a huge file via a POST. I have all of the listeners disabled, and am running the test in command-line mode.
Eventually, with high enough numbers of loops and threads, I run out of memory. I have set the max heap quite high. Does anyone know what the memory implications in JMeter are of having a big (1M) file upload in the post? Does it keep the data in memory for some period of time? Related, is it correct to assume that, with no listeners, the memory consumption of the process will not grow beyond that required (all else being equal) to hold tests for all the threads at one time, and that there is no reason it should grow beyond that point? In other words, anything that would cause memory to grow over time that I could take a look at? I would have thought that once I got to a steady-state, memory would spie up and down as the tests are run and the GC runs, but the overall trend should be flat. Thanks, Will
