从gradle运行Robolectric测试会给出OutOfMemoryError。 来自AndroidStudio的罚款

Question

If I run my Robolectric unit tests from AndroidStudio everything is just fine and all my tests pass. If I try to run them from the command line, "./gradlew clean test" I get OutOfMemoryError errors.

I've tried editing the gradle.properties file in the root directory of the project, but this seems to have no effect. I even set the memory limit to 8g and still had out of memory errors so I don't think file is have any effects.

Project -> gradle.properties

# Specifies the JVM arguments used for the daemon process.
# The setting is particularly useful for tweaking memory settings.
# Default value: -Xmx10248m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

I have tried the answers from other threads with no success. It only seems to throw errors when an Activity or Fragment is involved.

Answer 1

Eugen was correct. Once I updated to JDK 8 my out of memory errors went away.

With that fixed, I was left with the 1 issue that everyone faces with running Robolectric from a library: it doesn't find the resources. Many people suggest copying all the files over. For me it was as simple as setting the src directory in gradle

android {
....
    sourceSets {
    // a work around for robolectric
    // https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/1796
    test.java.srcDirs += '../App/build/generated/source/r/debug'
}
