JavaScript heap out of memory

[dwayneyuen]

Hi, we just started using this test reporter with our project and love it! Sometimes the reporter throws a heap out of memory error - is there anything we can configure to help with this? We are running a kotlin and run tests with junit. this is the step:

      - name: Surefire Report
        if: ${{ failure() }}
        uses: ScaCap/action-surefire-report@v1
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.github_token }}
          report_paths: '**/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml'

this is the task in our gradle file:

    tasks.withType<Test> {
        reports.junitXml.isEnabled = true
    }

FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

please let me know if there's any additional useful information i can provide!

i was able to resolve by adding this environment variable in my actions config:

        env:
          NODE_OPTIONS: '--max_old_space_size=4096'

Hi @dwayneyuen, I'm glad you solved it. I never hit this problem. Can you please describe your project a bit: # of files in the repo, # of tests,...

[gopaljoshi-brainvire]

@dwayneyuen Thanks, its working for me :)

[sidverma32]

This issue gets resolve by adding this line in your code, here size-value depends on your application size (~4096 = 4GB):

{
   "scripts":{
      "server":"node --max-old-space-size={size-value} server/index.js"
   }
}

not working for me

@jmisur in case you still want to look into this: I just hit the same issue when setting this up for the Apache Axis2 project. The project currently consists of 122 modules, and since it's open source you should be able to debug with it easily :). For now I'll use the env workaround that was suggested here earlier.

[cortlepp]

Actually the workaround does not seem to work for my project (and I don't think it really makes sense to increase the heap size even more), can we maybe reopen this issue? (friendly ping @ghaiszaher since your the first committer I found in the history :)
