OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded with -Xmx1536m setting in place

vazzilena · June 28, 2018, 7:44pm

Hey,

Perhaps the issue is related to this topic:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sonarqube/iRipZpZUs-c/discussion
https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARJAVA-2611
For us this started happening once we upgraded to java plugin v 5.4 (build 14284)
It is a pity but I cannot find a workaround and will have to exclude the class that causes it

Using Community EditionVersion 7.2 (build 13530).

I am getting the exception below. I tried to increase memory settings, but that did not help.

Current Java options passed from Jenkins instance to Ant build scripts is set to:
-Xmx1536m -Xms1024M -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=2G

Any idea how to fix?

Would you be able to share the class causing trouble (privately if you wish)?

vazzilena · June 29, 2018, 12:04pm

Sure. Attaching it here.
nRealmXMLImport.txt (79.5 KB)

By the way, after I excluded it, the build passed so I am pretty sure it is causing the problem.
I am not happy with the exclusion, so if you come up with some workaround - that would be lovely

Many thanks.

Hey guys,

I managed to reach the GC overhead limit on smaller projects by accidentally including a third party huuge file in the analysis. When a .js file is around ~70k lines it tends to cause some problems for example. Correcting file inclusion/exclusion patterns fixes this.
This might not directly solve your issue @vazzilena , just wanted to add it for any future passerbys.

Cheers,
Balázs

hello @vazzilena,

we are coming back to some old threads, where the conclusion is missing. I tried to reproduce the issue with the code you provided and I didn’t see any issue with the latest version. Feel free to reach back to us if you are still having a problem.
