One of my builds just failed with the following stack trace with Gradle 2.11:
Unexpected exception thrown. org.gradle.messaging.remote.internal.MessageIOException: Could not read message from '/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:52698'. at org.gradle.messaging.remote.internal.inet.SocketConnection.receive(SocketConnection.java:84) at org.gradle.messaging.remote.internal.hub.MessageHub$ConnectionReceive.run(MessageHub.java:235) at org.gradle.internal.concurrent.ExecutorPolicy$CatchAndRecordFailures.onExecute(ExecutorPolicy.java:54) at org.gradle.internal.concurrent.StoppableExecutorImpl$1.run(StoppableExecutorImpl.java:40) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at org.gradle.messaging.remote.internal.hub.InterHubMessageSerializer$MessageReader.read(InterHubMessageSerializer.java:71) at org.gradle.messaging.remote.internal.hub.InterHubMessageSerializer$MessageReader.read(InterHubMessageSerializer.java:52) at org.gradle.messaging.remote.internal.inet.SocketConnection.receive(SocketConnection.java:77) ... 6 more :sulky-junit:test FAILED FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':sulky-junit:test'. > Unable to connect to the child process 'Gradle Test Executor 10'. It is likely that the child process have crashed - please find the stack trace in the build log. This exception might occur when the build machine is extremely loaded. The connection attempt hit a timeout after 120.0 seconds (last known process state: STARTED, running: true).
Unfortunately, I can’t reproduce the problem. Neither can it be related to OutOfMemory as suggested in this topic.
Just wanted to mention it…
