OutOfMemoryError during connectedDebugAndroidTest

[waffiqaziz]

Description:

I'm encountering a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError when running connectedDebugAndroidTest. The error happens during instrumentation tests on the emulator and crashes the process with no usable stack trace.

Stack trace / log output:

I've resolved the issue.

The OutOfMemoryError was fixed by specifying the profile to use Nexus 6. Here's the updated configuration that worked for me:

      - name: Run instrumentation test
        uses: reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner@1dcd0090116d15e7c562f8db72807de5e036a4ed
        with:
          api-level: 29
          force-avd-creation: false
          arch: x86_64 
          profile: Nexus 6
          disable-animations: true
          script: |
            ./gradlew :feature:login:connectedDebugAndroidTest --stacktrace --continue
            ./gradlew :feature:search:connectedDebugAndroidTest --stacktrace && killall -INT crashpad_handler || true
