Error occurred during initialization of VM

I have 2 build machines, one is a server VM the other is a desktop. The server build machine is working fine. But when I trigger a build, and point it to the Desktop build machine, I am getting the following error during the Complete the SonarQube analysis:

Hi,

This isn’t my area, but off-hand it looks like it’s a problem with the size of your VM:

Ann

Are you suggesting the size of the JavaVM The machine I am getting the error on is a physical machine.

Patrick,

When you’re running the build, is there at least 1GB of memory free on the desktop build machine?

And for the heck of it, can you report back on what version of Java (the Java Runtime Environment specifically) is running on the build machine?

Colin

Hmm… I mis-read.

Still, this does indicate that something can’t grab enough memory.

The desktop has 16gb of Ram when its running a build it still only using 6gb so that leaves a little less than 10 gb. I have Javea1.8.0_181 Java™ SE Runtime.

Oddly enough this time the build ran ok, but I was remote desktop into the PC.

I ran it a 2nd time but logged off the PC (build machine) and this time it OK… Maybe it was a setup error. I’ll keep an eye on it.
