Describe the Issue

I am trying to run the performance test on a collection but unfortunately I got an error saying: "Failed to start run Postman encountered an error due to which the run could not be started. Please try again."

Is there any version working that I could downgrade?

Thanks!

Steps To Reproduce

1. Just run a performance test on a collection and see a popup error message at the right corner.

Operating System

I have the same problem in 10.22.9 version

[mateussaggin]

Same problem here in 10.22.9.

Edit: The problem is happening only if there is folders inside the collection.

[nikithaachhini23]

Hi @thachun

Could you please provide information on whether you're running performance run on a folder directly (or) on a collection with folders?

Screen recording of the flow would be much appreciated.

[atehvg]

Same thing is happening when I run a folder inside a collection. Running the collection with folders doesn't have issues. Running Version 10.22.9.

Edit: added version number

Hi @thachun

Could you please provide information on whether you're running performance run on a folder directly (or) on a collection with folders?

Screen recording of the flow would be much appreciated.

I did not see any folder in my collection. I just create a new collection again and it works :-). Something wrong with the old collection that honestly, I have no idea.

[nikithaachhini23]

@thachun Thank you for providing the screenshot. Running folders inside a collection (or) running a collection as a whole with requests and folders will work. Let me know if you're facing any issues there.

As @atehvg informed running a performance run directly on a folder is an issue which we're currently looking into and will have it fixed in the upcoming release.

[habibsc]

I'm having this same issue if I try to run the Performance test from a Folder inside a Collection. Running the Performance test directly from a Collection, with requests not inside a Folder, worked a expected. Still using Postman 10.22.6 here.

[gintsgints]

For me works whole collection even it has tests within folders.

[cpinkerton-kpler]

Same issue on v10.22 - trying to run a Performance test on a sub-folder of a Collection. Running the Functional test works on the same folder. Running the Performance test on a whole Collections works

[nikithaachhini23]

Hey @thachun @atehvg Could you try updating the app to the latest version and check? (latest version should be 10.24.0). It works even on 10.23.0

Running performance test directly on folders with in collection should work now.

[SavioHolanda]

Estou na versão v10.24.11 e está ocorrendo o mesmo problema.

Solução que fiz: Criei uma nova coleção e coloquei as requisições para essa nova coleção e com voltou a funcionar.

[nikithaachhini23]

@SavioHolanda Are you saying that on v10.24.11 running a performance test directly on folders is not working? I verified that it works. Could you please share a recording?

[hfcipriano]

I prefer the old postman... This new one should renamed to bugman

[Linghucong1999]

这个就很操蛋

[albaraX]

I have same problem. An earlier advices doesn't work. Postman v. 11.0.11. Testing collection aren't contain any folder and I create a new collection in current version of Postman. I've tried run testing with 1 VU (2 mins). Anyway got error "Failed to start run".

这个就很操蛋

I have same problem. An earlier advices doesn't work. Postman v. 11.0.11. Testing collection aren't contain any folder and I create a new collection in current version of Postman. I've tried run testing with 1 VU (2 mins). Anyway got error "Failed to start run".

这个就很操蛋

The same version worked before, but suddenly it stopped working for a while. I opened the console and no error was reported.

[albaraX]

Maybe if you use all your runner's limits (25/25) then you can't start a performance test? I have 40/25 runs

[Linghucong1999]

i use 1/1 run,is still the case

[arr19422]

Same here, Postman just does not initiate a performing test, wichever the VU, Duration or Load profile. It just does not work.

[nikithaachhini23]

Apologies for the delay in responding back. We're looking into this issue.

Are all of you running the performance run on windows machine using the latest version?

I am experiencing exactly the same issue. When I try to perform a load test, it returns an error.

Please help me to be able to perform these load tests. Could it be a subscription issue where I need to pay?

[nikithaachhini23]

@deibyd Its not a subscription issue. Seems like a windows specific issue which the team will be looking into. We'll ensure to fix this issue soon. Could you please provide the logs if possible?

@deibyd hi . I have a similar problem, did you manage to figure it out?

@deibyd Hi, same issue.

[deibyd]

No, I haven't fixed it yet; it still occurs. I have passed the log to @nikithaachhini23. Maybe he can tell us the status and what he has discovered. Thank you very much in advance, nikithaachhini23. We remain attentive to anything else you need. I think it would be a good idea for others to also attach their logs.

My logs with the problem logs.zip

[nikithaachhini23]

Thanks a lot guys for your inputs and efforts in providing us logs. Appreciate your patience with us.

So far my analysis:

1. While using the postman app on a different language say Japanese via app general settings. Running a performance test on windows machine might not be working. Are you guys using the app in a different language?
2. Based on the logs, there's an issue while retrieving available memory from the user's windows machine to run a performance test. We have got all the logs data we need. Thanks again!

We're definitely considering this as a priority issue and will be looking into it soon. Rest assured we'll fix it as soon as we can and update you.

Hello, I've ran into the problem described above aswell. These are the commands mentioned for testing on the ticket #12852 so here are the results, hope this helps!

@deibyd Hi, I have the latest version (v11.1.14), and I still have the same issue.

[johseffer]

same here

[postfrzero]

Hey folks, we've identified an issue which could be leading to these errors and we're working on rolling out a Canary app build which could resolve this while the changes are integrated into the mainline app. Either @nikithaachhini23 or I will post an update here as soon as we have something tangible.

[Thairam]

same here.

@postfrzero Hello!

Please write when the fix is ​​planned?

[issamansur]

I wanted to start test today, but had same issue. Version: 11.2.12 (latest) I have no folders in collection

P.S.: interesting, that at start I had this error After reloading page of runner had this:

[qa-oks]

The same issue, version 11.2.12. Is there any information about the fixing? Seems like the problem is kind of critical for a lot of people here

[filippoitaliano]

I have the same issue. I think it's also worth mentioning I experience this same behavior on Windows 11 and also on the latest macOS, both with the latest version of Postman. Right now I'm using version 10.24.2 to be able to run Performance tests.

[seifeddine55]

Our team have the same error using 11.12.1 but for 10.24.25 it's working. Any thought about this kind of behavior

[issamansur]

Guys, please, can you send link/site , where I can download stable version of postman with working performance test (10.24.2-10.24.25)?

[filippoitaliano]

@issamansur Postman portable from Portapps is the one i'm using. It bundles version 10.24. Don't take this as a recommendation. Please do your research on https://github.com/portapps reliability 🙏.
