Comment #1 on issue 963 by pekka.klarck: When the output.xml is very
big,report and log does not create.
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=963
The error you got from rebot is pretty strange. It looks more like the XML
is somehow broken but it could be that memory runs out too. With fixml the
problem clearly is with memory but it uses different parsing modules than
rebot so the problems aren't necessarily related.
We are, however, aware of problems with rebot's memory usage and are going
to enhance it still this autumn (issue 865). That is too big change for
2.6.2, though, so it needs to wait until 2.7.
Notice that the splitoutputs functionality that was removed in 2.6 would
not help because even if outputs were split all the data was read into
memory like it was in one XML file.
Finally, we have fixed some problems related to corrupted output files
especially when using listeners. If your original problem was a corrupted
output file, it may have already be fixed and the fix will be included into
2.6.2 that is release in few days.
