Our pipelines started failing with Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap

mirus-ua · April 28, 2025, 2:39pm

Hello. We have faced an issue out of the blue, and it has been happening for every single PR for the last few days. The interesting part is that it occurs for PRs that don’t have intersected files.
The average PR size is 20-25 files with a few changes in each.
No config changes have been done previously.

Please, help figure out the reason. I can share more details via DM

Steps to reproduce – hard to say. it just started
Potential workaround – tried to disable sonar.scm.disabled=true but it didn’t help

Hi,

It looks like you need to adjust the heap space.

As a side note, I notice this in your log snippet:

Disabling the SCM detection really isn’t a good idea. It means analysis won’t be able to identify what’s “new”, or to properly assign issues to their authors.

HTH,
Ann

mirus-ua · April 30, 2025, 9:32am

I’ve just tried, and no success

  sonar:
    needs: [test]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 60
    env:
      # increase Java heap size to avoid OOM errors
      SONAR_SCANNER_JAVA_OPTS: -Xmx512m
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

ganncamp · April 30, 2025, 12:28pm

Hi,

Please retry with increasingly larger values. Or you could just skip up to something like -Xmx4Gb.

HTH,
Ann
