On my Mac, I have Katalon Studion 5.7.1.
I have the katalon.ini file at /Applications/Katalon Studio.app/Contents/Eclipse/katalon.ini
In the os console, I checked the katalon.ini file where you can find the runtime configuration for Eclipse = Katalong Studio. The following shows mine.
:Eclipse$ pwd
/Applications/Katalon Studio.app/Contents/Eclipse
:Eclipse$ ls
artifacts.xml features katalon.ini plugins
configuration jre p2
:Eclipse$ cat katalon.ini
-startup ../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.201.v20161025-1711.jar --launcher.library ../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.401.v20161122-1740 -data
config -vm ../../Contents/Eclipse/jre/Contents/Home/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx4048m
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
:Eclipse$
I found
-Xmx4048m
is specified.
As java tells,
-Xmx_n
_Specifies the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This value must a multiple of 1024 greater than 2 MB. Append the letter k
or K
to indicate kilobytes, or m
or M
to indicate megabytes. The default value is chosen at runtime based on system configuration.
So, specifying -Xmx4048m in katalon.ini means that Katalon Studio is given with 4.0GB as possible maximum memory to use.
stewart,
I suppose you also have -Xmx4048m as well. The runtime memory usage of Katalon Studio is controlled and will never exceed the -Xmx value. There is nothing to worry about.

By the way, you can see the installation detail in Katalon Studio GUI as well.
