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!

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

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

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

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".

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

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?
