Uncaught exception java.lang.stackoverflowerror


I am getting the error "Uncaught Exception java.lang.stack overflow error null in Jmeter while performing only one thread. Initially, all requests passed, when I try to click on 11th request to see the HTML response type it starts throwing errors. Since that page contains more images with search functionality


Solution

  • You can run the Java VM with a larger stack size by applying a flag like -Xss1024k. From what I found, the default is 1024k (1 MB).

    For example:

    $ java -Xss2048k -jar myfile.jar
    

    or

    $ java -Xss256m -jar myfile.jar
    

    The alternative is to optimize your code. However,

    Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
