GC overhead limit exceeded means that Java's spending more than 98% of the time doing Garbage Collection and retaining less than 2% of the heap.

You need to allocate more memory.

To quote @shadowfacts

Use the org.gradle.jvmargs property in the ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file as described here

Ok how do i add org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2G and what is it, also there was know gradle.properties file in my .gradle folder

assign more RAM into gradle by adding org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2G into the file ~/.gradle/gradle.properties (create file if doesn’t exist)

 

also it is in the user files on the system, if you're using Windows, it's in something like "C:\Users\*user*\.gradle\gradle.properties"

 

make sure it is not a .txt file when you make it

ok there was no gradle.properties file in my .gradle folder so i created it know what exactly to I add to this a file, just a folder called org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2G a txt file with org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2G inside of it?

gradle.properties is a file editable using notepad or any simple text editor, it is just not of the .txt extension.

Inside you just put

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx2G

You need to create it yourself. It's a plain text file, so use a text editor or your IDE.
