Test failure due to OutOfMemoryError

[dennisguse]

About a month a ago our CI started to fail on tests using large amounts of memory (actually not that large).
Beforehand everything was working fine.

Any suggestions/insights?
We can downgrade the tests to use less memory by generating less test data, but that's something I would like to avoid.

OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks#599

Fixed by defining profile: Nexus 6.
So, the default emulator seems to be rather limited regarding to RAM.

Sadly, this did not solve the problem.

We are experiencing very similar issues: google/android-fhir#193

We reduced our memory use in the tests.
Not really cool, but works for now.

If we get this option #139, we can check if we can increase the test data again.

We reduced our memory use in the tests.

Hi Dennis - what did you do in order to reduce memory use? Thanks!

[dennisguse]

@jingtang10 Not too much actually and we should have done this earlier:

• OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks@99e5dfb
• OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks@f0341e8

The affected tests actually work in locally started emulators and on local devices without any trouble.

Thanks Dennis!

Did not see this issue again - seemingly reducing the memory consumption helped (although I don't know why it started failed).
Anyhow: works.
