Error processing the file (big file)

[wardpeet]

Cli works fine but webapp keeps throwing Error processing the file.
The timeline.json file is 12.8mb. When i upload aerotwist.json it works fine. Probably because the file it soo big?

There's generally a problem with Python's JSON parsing when it comes to some of the trace files :-/ I'm still trying to figure it out, but if you'd be willing to post the file somewhere I'll gladly take a look and see if I can figure out what's going on. Did you take the file from WebPagetest or Timeline?

Same error with timeline from chrome so it probably depends on the file size.

I had similar problem when I was working with browser-perf. The tracing files can get really big and the way I solved this was by reading the files in streams. This is just an array of records, and parsing the file as a stream let me parse.

node-big-rig could also benefit from reading the stream instead of reading the entire big file

I have the same problem. It says JSON parse error
My file is 25 MB tho :/ Link to json file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ui5udnmv96jqjb7/timeline_single.json?dl=0

@datrinh Did you try using http://github.com/axemclion/browser-perf/ ?

[datrinh]

@axemclion No, I haven't. I didn't plan on setting up multiple tools if possible tho :)

I'm still having the error even on smaller files (5 MB)...
Is there any alternative app that I can use until this is fixed?

Same issue for me, file size <7mb. I also tried disabling/enabling Timeline options like Js profile, Memory, Paint, Screeshots, etc. And still doesn't work.
