Hello @tianyutingxy,
can you please provide more information about how you are getting this problem?

Thanks.

Thanks @tianyutingxy for reporting this. It seems to me that the Gradle integration is creating javac command lines with a number of file exceeding the bash limit. The current Gradle integration is mostly a proof of concept to show that we can analyze Gradle projects with Infer but is very fragile. We are working on a much more robust way to integrate Infer with Java built systems. I will update this issue once it is ready.

[jvillard]

The gradle integration reads the list of Java files to compile from a file, not from the command line, precisely to avoid this error (#131) . Without more information, it's hard to know what's wrong here, so I'm closing this task. Feel free to re-open with more info.

@jvillard @jeremydubreil @martinoluca I'm having this same issue running infer with ant, from a brew install in OSX. Here is the stack trace and the error:
