Wow! That is a lot of tests.
About the memory problem: I really don't know what might cause that. I'd
have to go into a debugger with a profiler for that and check everything.
There are a few things you could try:
- start the app server in a different JVM as the tests, this way you
can see which one is causing the problems
- when overnighting the tests, ant 1.6.x provides a way to start each
test or each suite in its own jvm, this will make the process take a
while, but at least you'd have a complete test run the next morning.
I hope this helps a little.

I have started to use jWebUnit for testing a large an web
application. The issue I had was that after about 100 tests or so it
runs out of memory. Increase the heap just delays the error. I have
currently 600 tests but it could end up being over 3000. I would like
to be able to run all of them say as a over night process. I have just
tried re-working the TestCase so that the Jetty web server is stopped
and start between a group of tests (number is determined by me) as I
was thinking that it might be the Open sessions from the login steps.
Even if I restart the web server in a fine grained level it will still
run out of memory. I have run out of ideas.
The lists and web searches does not inidicate anyone else facing
this issue so I'm not sure people are using the tests extensively. I
call the only cleanup like method I can find in the http API. I have
added my own test runner that will at determined points restart the
web server (Jetty) so that open sessions will get cleared. I null out
the web conversation after the test to assist with garbage collection
(which did help a fair bit). All of these changes have helped so its
better than it was but I still cannot run all of the tests in one
single execution (using Eclipse).
So has anyone found these issues? How are you going about it? It
might be the application leaking or eclipse, so how could I determine
whats is going on in this case. It would be great if you could provide
some idea(s) or advice please.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers David.
