docker : At least 3Gb memory needs to be available to the Container

[frottke]

Hi Freddy,

first of thank you for fixing #3718! :)

Resulting from #3718 we are now using HyperV-Isolation but unfortunately we now get a new error. This error was originally the reason to switch to process isolation a few months ago.

Thrown Error

At least 3Gb memory needs to be available to the Container.

Scripts used and config via AL-Go to create container and cause the issue

localdenv.ps1

localDevEnv.settings.json

{
    "memoryLimit": "0G",
    "installOnlyReferencedApps": false,
    "enableTaskScheduler": true,
    "doNotBuildTests": true,
    "doNotRunTests": true,
    "doNotRunBcptTests": true,
    "assignPremiumPlan": true,
    "vsixFile": "latest"
}

When changing memoryLimit to for example 16G it does work. When using process isolation the value "0G" was the solution that bccontainerhelper used the default which was perfect for our needs instead of the default value of AL-Go (8G) which is not sufficient for the installation of the dependencies ( around nine apps). Is there a "better" solution then setting it to 16GB?

This script will create a docker based local development environment for your project.

NOTE: You need to have Docker installed, configured and be able to create Business Central containers for this to work.
If this fails, you can setup a cloud based development environment by running cloudDevEnv.ps1

All apps and test apps will be compiled and published to the environment in the development scope.
The script will also modify launch.json to have a Local Sandbox configuration point to your environment.

memoryLimit": "0G",

?

Shouldn't that be 10G?

[frottke]

It was intentional 0G to avoid the default value 8G from AL-Go. 0G with process isolation is "dynamic". Which means using the limit of the host os. Worked perfectly :)

[freddydk]

OK - when using process isolation, the default should be "no memorylimit", hence "memoryLimit 0G" shouldn't be needed. When using hyperv - you need to set a maximum memory limit to make this work.

You should be able to create a settings file called .github/localdevenv.settings.json - which will only be applied during localdevenv and hence will not be applied during CI/CD.

and... reading your issue again - you already have this settings file.
