Gradle / Travis sudo false leads to an error

Old Forum Archive Bugs

Spring-Security uses Gradle for building on top of travis

Travis builds are running:
Travis Build

with following .travis.yml
Travis Config

I have changed the travis config to set sudo to false:
New Travis Config

and the travis gradle build (https://travis-ci.org/spring-projects/spring-security/builds/125434273) now throws following error:

 FAILED

Do you know any reason for that? Any ideas how to solve? We need sudo : false to have better build times (because travis only caches when sudo is false)

Thanks,
Jens

Exit code 137 means the test process was killed. The most frequent cause for that is memory issues. Make sure your test task has enough memory. It could very well be that the containerized infrastructure on Travis has different default memory settings.

We had a similar problem in Grails when we started using Travis CI. The solution was to add configuration to the build to change some settings when the build is running in Travis.

In Grails, the essential of the Travis CI specific configuration was something like this:

ext {
    isTravisBuild = System.getenv().get("TRAVIS") == 'true'
}


subprojects { project ->
    test {
        if (isTravisBuild) {
            maxParallelForks = 2
            maxHeapSize = '768m'
            forkEvery = 100   // helps when tests leak memory
            afterSuite {
                System.out.print('.')
                System.out.flush()
            }
        }
    }
}

I’d also add these setting to .travis.yml to minimize memory usage:

env:
  global:
  - MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1
  - GRADLE_OPTS="-Xmx512m"

Thanks for your detailed response.

I will try soon. Had no time so far…

Thanks,
Jens
