Hi,

How big is the project you’re trying to analyze?

And thanks for the log! I guess you get the OOM error right after the last line?

Hi,

It looks like you need to grant Docker more memory.

Hi,

Can you turn on debug logging (I’m not sure how to do that in Bitbucket…) so maybe we could narrow this down a little more?
