ReadyAPI can and will consume a LOT of memory. I have mine set to use 24GB of RAM and still see this error. I have yet to find a solution outside of:

 

  1. Restart ReadyAPI often.
  2. Only keep open the projects you need to.
  3. Set preferences to close projects on start.
  4. Use a groovy script that runs "System.gc()" to try to force ReadyAPI to garbage collect.
  5. Deleting the contents of the .readyapi\logs folder

Hi all,

 

Thank you, groovyguy, I love the list of the tips, they are really useful!

 

nmowbray, did you have a chance to try the above steps? Does this work for you? If so, could you please mark the reply with the steps as a Solution so that other users could easily find it in the future?

Otherwise, if the error persists, our support engineers also suggest that you try disabling unused tools:
1. Create a text file with the "disabled-tools.txt" name and the following content:
- ServiceVirtualizationModule
- LoadUINGModule
- SecurityModule
2. Put this file into the C:\Users\<User>\.readyapi folder.
3. Restart R!API.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

      Hi nmowbray,

       

      Does the warning appear for all your projects or for some specific one? If it’s one specific project, it is worth contacting our Support team and providing them with the project so that they could investigate this.

       

      Alternatively, our engineers also recommend that you try clearing the workspace and adding all the projects again there.

      Please let us know your results.

        Hi Olga_T, 

         

        It happens on all projects when using the application on Mac OS, we have not seen the problem for quite some time on Windows OS. 

         

        Seems to be an issue when using oracle driver: 

        • The JDBC driver [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver] is already registered.
