Hey Marc, Yes. When a step does not fail, I am able to run the use case. However, before upgrading to the newer build, I received this error before any modules were even executed. While the application is not yet in the position for me to run this and test fully for resource leakages, I can run this several times (say 100) and must stop the execution myself - a heap error cannot be found. However, if an error does occur, then the result is not a "Build Failed" message, but a heap error.
Now, if I do keep this running all the way to 100000, would you expect a java heap error to occur? I am not saving responses or showing html output in my config file, which should help. However, I understand that a heap error can be predicted since there are approx. 100 steps in this use case by itself X the <repeat>. Do you have any other suggestions for how I should go about this? Right now, I actually cannot tell you if this will fail based on a java heap error, because we cannot yet run it on our application. However, I can tell you that I have bypassed the two heap error occurrences which I have seen before.

Nevertheless you say that you get an OOM only when a step fails. Does it means that you've been able to let this run without OOM when not step failed? Marc. PS: with the coming changes (yes I know, I talk about these changes since too long) such huge suites should be possible without too high memory consumption (supposing that no report is generated) as the steps will be made available for garbage collection as soon as they have been executed.
