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

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 :)

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"
   }
}
