Is there a recommended java -Xmx setting for phantomjs automated testing of a service?

[Joseph Finkel]

I am trying to use phantomjs as a browser in some automated tests for a java product I am working on. These tests consistently crash the service after repeated testing (30 runs of a module with 17 tests). I am using version 1.9.8 of phantomjs. I would like to try increasing the maximum size of the memory allocation pool from its default 256 MB, is there a recommended value I should increase it to? 

Thanks

PhantomJS is a C++ application, so JVM settings are irrelevant.

Hi

I think perhaps you need to check your java product, because I believe it is crashing because of memory leak since this only occurred during recursive testing and not manual testing right?

Like James Greene had mentioned, phantomjs is based on C++ and not affected by JVM and definitely will not caused your server side program to crash unless it have bugs. If you are saying phantomjs died after a while then it is another issue that I personally experienced. Unfortunately I have no work around for that yet.
