Parsing log file(s)... java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

I am using Gatling 3.5.0,
I have 5 test case classes , each test case only send 1 HTTP request for 1 second.
I run 5 test cases one after the other.

The problem is after I run the test roughly 5 times using “mvn gatling:test” , I will get 1 Build Failure while parsing log file.

Parsing log file(s)…

When I downgrade the Gatling version to 3.3.1 , then I don’t see this error (I only have run it for 8 times so far and I didn’t get any Build Failure at all. Probably I will need to run it more later to further verify it)

My logback.xml looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{15} - %msg%n%rEx false ./src/test/resources/Logs ./src/test/resources/Logs/loadTest.log true %d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %logger{15} - %msg%n%rEx

Is there any known issue with the newest Gatling version 3.5.0 , or something is not right with my POM.xml or my logback.xml ?

Thanks
Jimmy

Please provide some concrete information such we can investigate, eg: your simulation.log, a heap dump (the aforementioned hprof file).

I’m just responding to say that I had this problem as wel. I’ve found the underlaying problem by adding the following logger to my log4j.xml

With the logging now showing all the failed request, I found out that there was something wrong with my testcase. I hope this helps somebody.
