[Geoserver-devel] Is it possible to raise ulimit on the build server?

Hi,
I’ve noticed that the java11 build started failing to build the community modules
after the QA branch merged. This is a bizarre, since the community modules
section is not running PMD nor ErrorProne.

Looking into it, I’ve found it complained about “too many open files”, and that the build
can be green if it runs alone and without -T2, but tends to fail if run in parallel with other
builds (the JDK 8 ones).

Would it be possible to bump up the number of allowed open files for the user running
Jenkins? (I don’t know how many would be best to set, but I’d go for a lot, the machine
in question is doing nothing else but builds, right?)

Cheers
Andrea

Looks like the (soft) file limit for jenkins was 1024. I’ve doubled it (for now) - if that’s insufficient we can revisit.

Cheers,

Torben

Hi Torben,
thanks for doing that. I’ve tried a -T2 which failed, reverted back to sequential and the last two java11 builds went fine.

Cheers
