Coverage fatal error (EclEmma)

Question

I am using Eclipse Mars 4.5.2. When running coverage tests for my application, which has 317 test methods so far, when it's about to finish (around 274 methods run), I am getting errors I can't find a solution to.

First a popup window saying:

No Coverage Data

No coverage data has been collected during this coverage session.

Please do not terminate the Java process manually from Eclipse.

A secon popup window:

'com.mountainminds.eclemma.internal.core.launching.AgentServer' has encountered a problem. Error while dumping coverage date (code 5013).

[Details:] Error while dumping coverage data (code 5013). Connection reset

And then the following console log:

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

I have been suffering this issue for a couple of weeks and, as I said, I can't find any solution, just similar bug reports in the EclEmma site from four or five years ago.

I have tried setting the following JVM arguments for JUnit: -Xms2g -Xmx2g.

My tests don't have any database connection, server connection nor network connection. They don't make any HTTP request either.

I have tried reinstalling the EclEmma plugin as well as reinstalling Eclipse. The issue persisted.

Answer 1

Update the coverage configuration. Go to the Arguments section and add below perm size argument in VM arguments section: -XX:MaxPermSize=1225m
