Error java lang OutOfMemoryError Java heap space in Maven

Question

When I run maven test, java.lang.OutOfMemoryError happens. I have tried to export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m, but it did not work.

Paste the error message here when run "mvn test -e"

Failed tests:
  warning(junit.framework.TestSuite$1)
  testDefaultPigJob_1(com.snda.dw.pig.impl.DefaultPigJobLocalTest)
  testDefaultPigJob_2(com.snda.dw.pig.impl.DefaultPigJobLocalTest)

Hello @kartik,

Here is the whole config that goes in the build section of your problem.

<build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.19</version>
        <configuration>
            <argLine>-Xmx1024m</argLine>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

Hope this helps!!
