building an ig is giving me a heap space error.

[Healthedata1]

Building an ig is giving me a heap space error. In my local build I allocate 4G:

java -Xmx4G -jar ${path} -ig ig.ini -tx $NA

Can you add a parameter to adjust the to increase the heap maximum size or hardcode it. I am not sure if you need paid accounts or not to do this.

Hi @Healthedata1! I guess this is one example of the failure: https://github.com/Healthedata1/R5ElementExtensionTest/actions/runs/5885731783/job/15962594524?

I have created a branch with some modifications:

• The JDK is now Zulu, which is said to be a bit more stable for memory usage.
• There is a step that shows the default configuration of Java.
• There is an input java-flags that you can use to configure Java.

You can use it with:

- uses: qligier/fhir-ig-action@feature_memory_debug
  with:
    java-flags: "-Xmx4G"

-Xmx4G seems the first solution to try, there are other flags that may be useful too.
Otherwise, the IG Publisher should be optimized (e.g. it seems to use a StringBuilder to create file contents, a FileOutputStream would greatly lower the memory usage of this task).

Can you try if you can build your IG with these modifications?

Yes I will, I created a fork with the heap size in the bash command and it worked so I anticipate this will fix it. Thanks, Eric M Haas, DVM, MS Health eData Inc 211 S Jefferson St, Napa, CA 94559 707.227.2608 ***@***.***

That worked and thank you!

FYI this is my workflow file:

# This is a basic workflow to build a FHIR-IG and publish the output (docs folder) 
# on Git Hub Pages everytime it is pushed to the main branch

name: Build and Deploy

# Controls when the workflow will run
on:
  # Triggers the workflow on push or pull request events but only for the "main" branch
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

  # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: write
jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout 🛎️
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: FHIR IG Action   # action from the GitHub Marketplace
        # uses: Healthedata1/fhir-ig-action@v0.3.0-alpha
        uses: qligier/fhir-ig-action@feature_memory_debug
        with:
          java-flags: "-Xmx4G"
          sushi: "3.2.0"
      - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages  # action from the GitHub Marketplace
        uses: JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action@v4.4.3
        with:
          folder: docs # deploy from the docs from the prior step

Thank you for testing! I'll then apply the "zulu" and "-Xmx4G" modifications to the action.

[qligier]

I've released v0.3.0 with these changes.
