Bug Report

Every time I input ‘{{’ in a parameter field to use a variable, the app stops responding, and the web version crashes.

Thank you for your feedback. Could you please provide the version number currently in use?

3

My coworker sent some messages on General i’ll copy them here

Sorry for the delay

The latest version (2.6.22) when i type “{{”, it takes several minutes to open the list of variables and consumes almost all my RAM (16GB). And have a bunch of this “.stream.dat”. On version 2.6.8 the same project works perfectly.

In these tests, we save the response as a variable to compare if they are equal between two API services: the old one (Openshift) and the new one in Kubernetes that another team is migrating. I guess the tests didn’t finish because there were problems with the variable too

How many variables did you set? global variable or environment variable? Can you take a screenshot of the script

10

Just one, I thought that the variable would be rewritten, I didn’t declare it in the global variables field, only in the script.

11

i’ll send the scripts, one minute

12

the script of kubernetes request:

let responseText = pm.response; pm.collectionVariables.set("dev_kubernetes_data", responseText);

the script of openshift request:

`let dev_kubernetes_data = pm.collectionVariables.get(“dev_kubernetes_data”);
let dev_openshift_data = pm.response;

pm.test(“Kubernetes return type is equal to Openshift return type”, function () {
pm.expect(typeof dev_kubernetes_data).to.equal(typeof dev_openshift_data);
});`

13

I checked, and they are in the global variables

Thanks for the feedback. It is recommended to assign this variable value to local variables. We will optimize the drop-down prompt in the future.

15

ok, but calling local variables is crashing too :confused:

16

Here are some provisional solutions before optimization:

  1. If you want to store the response content in a variable, it is recommended to use pm.response.text() or pm.response.json().
  2. If the type stored in a variable is only used in typeof dev_kubernetes_data, it is recommended to store the result of typeof dev_kubernetes_data in a variable rather than storing the complete dev_kubernetes_data.
  3. Big data is recommended to be stored in local variables.
  4. Before using local variables, it is recommended to manually delete the value previously stored in the global variables.
