Java Heap Size Error In Bamboo

Question

While building a project in bamboo using maven I am getting out of memory exception. However project is built properly in local environment. Tried to increasing heap size in maven-opts but there is no luck. Below is the stack trace:

Answer 1

In the full log of your build, you should be able to read something like this:

Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xms128m -Xmx2048m

In the Bamboo Maven task, there is a text box Environment variables with as a desciption:

Extra environment variables. eg MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx256m -Xms128m" . You can add multiple parameters separated by a space.

There, you can set in the case of _JAVA_OPTIONS :

_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xms256m -Xmx4096m"
