abi_tests/abi_large_array test fails with swap space less than 2GB

[Duncan-Ultra]

OS: Ubuntu-22.04
Leap: v5.0.2

Where this happens:

leap/unittests/abi_tests.cpp

Line 2254 in 13b1c03

BOOST_CHECK_THROW( abis.binary_to_variant( "hi[]", bin, abi_serializer::create_yield_function( max_serialization_time ) );, fc::exception );

Expected exception when I run with 8GB swap space so it will pass as fc::exception

3015013 unpack_exception: Unpack data exception
Unable to unpack 'ARRAY[0]' from stream
    {"p":"ARRAY[0]"}
    unit_test  abi_serializer.cpp:457 _binary_to_variant
rethrow
    {}
    unit_test  abi_tests.cpp:2258 test_method

Actual exception:

13 St9bad_alloc: std::bad_alloc
rethrow std::bad_alloc:
    {"what":"std::bad_alloc"}
    unit_test  abi_tests.cpp:2257 test_method

My swap space for actual exception:

➜ free -m
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           32059         608       30373           3        1077       31016
Swap:           2048           0        2048

I cannot find any information about the minimum requirement for running leap or these tests. So, should you guy add exception for this case, or I'm expected to increase my swap space instead?

8GB seems rather small amount of swap space. I would recommend 16GB minimum.

Thanks for reporting. This issue will be fixed in Leap 5.0.3 (see #2405) and Spring 1.0.0 (see AntelopeIO/spring#603).
