IntelliJ 错误：java.lang.OutOfMemoryError：超出 GC 开销限制

Question

I'm running Grails 2.5.0 on IntelliJ Idea Ultimate Edition 2020.2.2. It compiles and builds the code just fine but it keeps throwing a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded" error (the entire error is copy and pasted at the end). Here are the things I've tried based off researching this error:

1.) Increasing build process heap size (tried at 2G, 4G, and 6G) https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360003315120-GC-overhead-limit-exceeded

2.) Increasing memory heap size (tried at 2G, 4G, and 6G)https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/increasing-memory-heap.html

3.) Increasing the maximum memory setting for the JVM in the launch configuration (tried at 2G, 4G, and 6G)

I saw that one of the fixes for this error is to "Reuse existing objects when possible to save some memory." However I believe strongly that this is not an issue with the code but with settings on my IDE. The code I am using works fine without errors on the production website and this OutOfMemoryError only appears on my local machine. I would appreciate any help anyone can give, thank you!!!

Exception in thread "http-nio-8805-exec-3" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded

Answer 1

The simplest possible solution could be, increase the build process heap size as shown below. Definitely this would help.

Answer 2

try to increase compiler heap size.

Answer 3

This worked for me and build ok.
