Issue

  • After adding the 'hostAliases' in the environment, the Jenkins builds are failing with the below error: 
    ERROR: the command "[ lcp, deploy, --only build, ----]" had an exit value of 137. 

Environment

  • Liferay PaaS
  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • When Jenkins builds fail due to an exit value of 137, it means a container or pod is trying to use more memory than it's allowed.
  • Increase the Gradle memory by using the following environment variable:
    LCP_CI_GRADLE_JVM_ARGS": "-Xmx4g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
