Hello @pareekkhushboo77 can you confirm that your issue is with runner and not the request builder? There is a possibility that your issue could be related to https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/6533

Hello @saswatds , Issue is not with runner, just simply POST requests calls.

Hi @Kurmavathar, we are aggressively tracking such performance issue across all components of postman. There is a lot of possible reason why this could be happening.

It would be great if you could help us investigate this issue. Here are a few things that could help us.

• The logs from postman console (not devtools console) with all sensitive info redacted
• If there is any specific request on with the runner is crashing?
• What are is the possible response size that you might be receiving? (aggregate)
• What are kind of auth feature being used?
• Does any of your api's involve uploading files, if yes what is the approximate size?
• What kind of hardward specification you are using, specifically the RAM?

We would be able to replicate this issue faster and come to a better RCA.

Thanks

Hi @saswatds , in order to get you required info to replicate the issue asap , can you please guide how to get logs from postman console. What are is the possible response size that you might be receiving? (aggregate)

well i found something, when i executed an API with merely any response hosted on different server, it executed properly, but the issue belonging API server is hosted in Russia. Also i tested on another machine, the API worked well in Postman, just the Postman crashes in my machine. Thats also weird as i have been using these API since 1+ year and this issue began 1 week back.

What are kind of auth feature being used?

nothing

Does any of your api's involve uploading files, if yes what is the approximate size?

No

What kind of hardware specification you are using, specifically the RAM?

16 GB

Hi @pareekkhushboo77 this particular issue is for the crashing of the runner and not request builder. Leveraging this issue to discuss the request builder is leading to a bit of confusion.

You can find the postman console by going to View -> Show Postman Console

There is another issue that we are tracing in the request builder where entering an invalid url in the editor is crashing the app. If your issue is similar to it, you can add a thumbs up to https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/6533 and continue the conversation there.

Thanks

Hi @saswatds , i am sure that the URL is correct, as it works in any other machine's Postman but mine, Also i have been working on it since more than 1 year, so i suppose that not the issue. Also, Postman Console doesn't show anything , please view attached screenshot.

Thanks

Hi ,

The issue is fixed, not sure how - but i guess its related to number of requests limits, as the new month began i tried to make the API calls again and they worked.

Also, please also check if your using environments, remove them and just try with direct urls.

Thanks for regular support by the team :)

@pareekkhushboo77 Sure, we will continue tracking this further on https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/6525
