I tried all the provided solutions  forking  systemloader  more memory etc     nothing worked   Environment  The build failed in gitlab ci environment  running the build inside a docker container   Solution  We used surefireplugin in version 2 20 1 and upgrading to 2 21 0 or greater  we used 2 22 1  fixed the issue   Cause  SUREFIRE-1422 - surefire uses the command ps  which wasnt available in the docker environment and led to the  crash   This issue is fixed in 2 21 0 or greater    Thanks to this answer from another question  https   stackoverflow com a 50568662 2970422

I had a situation similar to Chad s  but found a different answer   Per the plugin docs  you can t use        in  lt argLine gt  because Maven will pick that up for replacement before the surefire plugin  or any other plugin  does   Since version 2 17  the plugin supports        instead of        for property replacement   So for example  replace this   lt argLine gt XX MaxPermSize 1024m   moreArgs  lt  argLine gt    with this   lt argLine gt XX MaxPermSize 1024m   moreArgs  lt  argLine gt

I ve met a case when none of the answers provided solved the issue   It was with a legacy application which happens to be using log4j and SLF4J logback   The previous situation  clean test builds were running fine when launched from within Eclipse  but when launched in the command line  this error occurred  CI builds on CircleCI ran fine too   What I did  out of pure guess  is configure a proper logback-test xml and dial down the verbosity of the logging  Lo and behold  I no longer experienced this error and I can now build the project  as well as the module in which this error was occurring  from the command line   My point is that the way that the logging frameworks are used or configured may be another explanation   Was it really a conflict between log4j and logback   Or was it just that the high volume of logging produced by the tests somehow overflowed a command line buffer  I don t know  It remains a mystery to me

If anyone is including a custom argLine argument  you must reconsider because it is likely the source of your issues with the memory allocation   For Example  I used to have     lt argLine gt XX MaxPermSize 4096m   argLine  lt  argLine gt    Now I use hard specified values    lt argLine gt -Xmx1024m -XX MaxPermSize 256m lt  argLine gt    For whatever reason  Applications that integrate with Surefire such as Jacoco  dont request enough memory to coexist with the testing that happens at build time

You need to check if your machine is 64 bit or 32bit  If your machine is 32 bit then your memory argument should not exceed 4096  even it should be below 4 GB   but if your machine is 64 bit then  install Java 64 bit and provide JAVA HOME in mvn bat which point to java 64 bit installation

I had the same problem in an app that was logging lots of XML to the console whilst it was running tests  I think the issue is something to do with the way the test fork sends its console logging to the main maven thread to be output to the screen  I worked around the issue by setting the logging of the offending class to WARN in my test logback file  Eg logback-test xml  lt configuration debug  quot true quot  gt     lt include resource  quot org springframework boot logging logback defaults xml quot    gt     lt include resource  quot org springframework boot logging logback console-appender xml quot    gt      lt logger name  quot com foo ClassWithLotsOfXmlLogging quot  level  quot WARN quot    gt      lt root level  quot INFO quot  gt       lt appender-ref ref  quot CONSOLE quot   gt     lt  root gt   lt  configuration gt

This could also happen due to a totally different issue  For example in my case our Jenkins build was failing intermittently while executing tests without any reason   I sifted through our tests to find any occurrence of System exit   but there was none    After more digging I found out that this could be happening because of a JDK bug which could have caused this regression    JDK-6675699   I am still working on making this fix in our builds  will come back and update the thread again

The forked JVM used in the test is running out of memory  The solution would be to either disable forking a JVM and running the tests on the main JVM ensuring you have sufficient memory or to pass args to increase the memory of the forked JVM  Check out the solution in this answer

This part of the Surefire FAQ could help you   Surefire fails with the message  quot The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye quot  Surefire does not support tests or any referenced libraries calling System exit   at any time  If they do so  they are incompatible with surefire and you should probably file an issue with the library vendor  Alternatively the forked VM could also crash for a number of reasons  which can also make this issue happen  Look for the classical  quot hs err  quot  files indicating VM crashes or examine the log output from running maven when the tests execute  Some  quot extraordinary quot  output from crashing processes may be dumped to the console log  If this happens on a CI environment and only after some time runs there is a fair chance your test suite is leaking some kind of OS-level resource that makes things worse for every run  Regular os-level monitoring tools may give you some indication

I also experienced this - but in my case I had written a custom hook for cucumber   public class MappingFormatter implements gherkin formatter Formatter          one of my methods was producing a Null pointer exception  which caused the surefire to exit without logging the error

When I encountered this error it was due to my ulimit for open files  ulimit -n  being too low   It had  somehow  got set to only 256     ulimit -n 256   The error went away after I increased the limit     ulimit -n 3072   ulimit -n      3072   Your system might not allow the limit to be set so high  e g   this happens when I try to use a larger number     ulimit -n 3073 ulimit  setrlimit failed  invalid argument   Or this might be lower than your existing limit and you could be facing a different root cause
