Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)

[RexQian]

As @mj-daft mentioned, the non-ascii GITLAB_USER_NAME may cause this issue.

After add "export GITLAB_USER_NAME=GHOST" in before_script, i workaround this issue

before_script:
- export GRADLE_USER_HOME=$(pwd)/.gradle
- export GITLAB_USER_NAME=GHOST
- chmod +x ./gradlew

Following the advice for this post fixed the issue for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47027943 Sounds like Gradle needs more memory than Docker is willing to give it.

[FilipIlievski]

This thread helped me solve the issue.

Apparently, it's a low-level memory problem - the execution machine isn't able to allocate enough memory for the heap. I've removed the .gradle directory which freed enough memory for the daemon to be able to work.
You can find the gradle path under Android Studio → Properties → search for "gradle"

Running the gradle commands with --no-daemon solved this issue for me. Example:
./gradlew --no-daemon assembleDemoDebug

I don't see how this could be an issue of the Docker image. Have you inspected the container after it died? Especially the State section? It should tell you a bit more about what happened.
Example:

$ docker inspect my_container_name
[
    {
        "State": {
            "Status": "created",
            "Running": false,
            "Paused": false,
            "Restarting": false,
            "OOMKilled": false,
            "Dead": false,
            "Pid": 0,
            "ExitCode": 127,
            "Error": "OCI runtime create failed: container_linux.go:296: starting container process caused \"exec: \\\"/usr/bin/bash\\\": stat /usr/bin/bash: no such file or directory\": unknown",
            "StartedAt": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
            "FinishedAt": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"
        }
[...]

@jangrewe
i copy your gitlab-ci.yml to my project and change args, run in the docker, then occur this error

[jangrewe]

So that's not the container dying, as it's always still Running.
Does your Gradle task run fine outside of the container?

[jangrewe]

Did you try, as instructed by Gradle:

Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

[mj-daft]

I see, your GITLAB_USER_NAME=????????? is not encoded property in environment variables. This may help: gradle/gradle#3117

[KishoreBabuIN]

@oliverspryn how would one increase the allowed memory when I'm using this in gitlab ci? is there any menu options? or any other way?

[RexQian]

add unicode support to docker image may fix this issue

gradle/gradle#3117 (comment)

[divanvb]

I'm facing this issue and none of the above works for me. Anyone that can assist, please?

• Running on GitLab CI
• Used --no-daemon but it still starts
• Changed the name but still fails

Don't know what else to try

Searched around and it seems like because I use git-cz which adds emoticons to the commit messages, it bombs out. This issue is apparently fixed in version 5.3 & above of gradle. Can you update the version, please?

[juanfer0002]

Hi,

I'm using gradle wrapper, so I updated to 5.5.1 version in gradle-wrapper.properties. After this I ran ./gradlew --no-daemon <task>.

I also added org.gradle.daemon=false to gradle.properties

This solved my issue

[julianmojico]

Downgrade gradle to version 5.3

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=5.3

This fixed the issue for me.
