Gradle throws an error when uploading large files to a nexus repository

Nick_Newland · December 12, 2013, 4:29pm

We have some large data files that we compress into an archive file and then upload to a nexus server. These files are then used in other build scripts.

I’ve written a build script that compresses and uploads these files, but once the archive got too large, gradle throws an error when uploading to our nexus repo. It worked fine when the archive file was around 100MB, but the archive is now about 450MB and gradle throws the error below. If we take the same file and use maven to upload the file to the nexus repo, it works fine, so I don’t think it’s an issue with the repo.

We’re currently using gradle 1.8.

Error: 18:08:48.133 [INFO] [org.gradle.api.internal.project.ant.AntLoggingAdapter] [ant:null] An error has occurred while processing the Maven artifact tasks. Diagnosis:

Do you see anything on the server logs when the error occurs?

Doesn’t look like anything shows up in the server logs. I tried it again with the --debug and --stacktrace flags and this is the exception that gets thrown:

Just happened to come across this while searching for something else (sorry for thread resurrection).

@Nick, your issue is here, in the stack trace above:

14:49:01.261 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] Caused by: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space 14:49:01.262 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] at org.apache.maven.wagon.AbstractWagon.transfer(AbstractWagon.java:492)

Looks like an OOM error, maybe try increasing the heap size on your JVM when running this process.

Rene · January 15, 2015, 2:34pm

BTW. the heap size of your gradle build can be customized using GRADLE_OPTS environment variable.
