Failed to start up analysis service

I recently discovered this plugin and installed it in my Intellij to create some unit tests. However, when I try to run it, it keeps failing with the error “Failed to start up analysis service”.

I followed the troubleshooting article for E020 code and increase my maximum heap size but that did not resolve the issue. Any help?

Here is part of the cover-plugin.log output:

Successfully starting up this service requires Cover to be able to start a process, to
set up a TCP server on localhost and to connect to the server set up by the analysis service;
the analysis service also needs to be able to set up a TCP server on localhost and to connect
the server started by Cover.

Diffblue Cover failed to start up the analysis service despite trying 3
times. The reasons for failure are summarized below:

Service JVM exited unexpectedly (3 times)

Service failed to start due to a JVM problem, exit code 1.

Hi @inoah ,
Thanks for reaching out to us with this. What JDK are you using on your system? We are specifically interested in knowing if it is 32 or 64 bit. Also please confirm that your machine meets the hardware requirements: Datasheet | Diffblue Docs.
Thanks, Thomas @ Diffblue

Hi @Thomas ,
Thanks for responding. I currently use 32 bit version of JDK 8 and my machine does meet the hardware requirements. It is a quad core Intel i7-7820HQ @ 2.90GHz with 16GB ram

Hi @inoah,
We do not support 32 bit, if you could please try again with a 64 bit JDK then this should fix your issue.
Thanks, Thomas @ Diffblue

Thank you. That resolved the issue.
