Hi @l0new4nder3r

Can you try this for the test.
Instead of directly saving this in the bru file, create a separate file to store the large data
You can open the collection in an editor and do this.

|- collection
| |- data
| | |- large-xml.js
| | request.bru
| | bruno.json

large-xml.js

module.exports = `
  <xml>
  ...
  </xml>
`;

In the pre-request script in request.bru you can add

const largeXml = require("./data/large-xml");

req.setBody(largeXml);

PS: We definitely need to fix the performance issue, just suggesting a workaround for your test.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick replies!

I tried that, and at least the app doesn't break because of this request in the collection :)

When trying to call the API, I got this error in bruno

Error invoking remote method 'send-http-request': Error [ERR_FR_MAX_BODY_LENGTH_EXCEEDED]: Request body larger than maxBodyLength limit

Which makes some sense if there is a hard coded limit somewhere for the body length.
I reckon this is not a high priority use case.

Is this "body length" parameter" maybe overridable in some way?

@l0new4nder3r Bruno uses axios underneath. It appears to be an axios config related issue.

Will have this fixed in the next release.

@ganesh-bruno Can you try to reproduce this issue using a large payload?

I tested this with files around 25MB, the performance was clearly degraded.

Any news on this issue? I'm trying to post a large set of data, 65MB, and Bruno just hangs and I have to kill it

No good news yet. The problem here is that the .bru parser is kinda slow and transfering this much data over IPC causes lag / needs a lot of memory.

As a workaround: I would suggest putting the body into a seperate file and set the body inside the pre-request script. See: #385 (comment)
