|error|23-Jan-2023 09:55:27|ERROR: eslint-bridge Node.js process is unresponsive. This is most likely caused by process running out of memory. Consider setting sonar.javascript.node.maxspace to higher value (e.g. 4096).|
|error|23-Jan-2023 09:55:27|ERROR: Failure during analysis, Node.js command to start eslint-bridge was: node /home/bamboo/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/WKDE-WKOUI-SS/.scannerwork/.sonartmp/eslint-bridge-bundle/package/bin/server 44463 127.0.0.1 /home/bamboo/bamboo-agent-home/xml-data/build-dir/WKDE-WKOUI-SS/.scannerwork true false |
|error|23-Jan-2023 09:55:27|java.lang.IllegalStateException: eslint-bridge is unresponsive|

So as suggested in the logs, we bumped the maxspace as indicated to 4096, which made no difference. Then we bumped it again to 8192, and that still failed.

Please let me know if you need any more logs to check.

Hi @Harmeet, thanks for the topic. To understand what could lead to this out-of-memory error, could you please share the entirety of the scanner logs where this error stack trace appears?
