How can I solve

 at org.alfresco.trashcan.TrashcanCleanerTest.<clinit>(TrashcanCleanerTest.java:67)
‍‍

I pulled down GitHub - Alfresco/alfresco-trashcan-cleaner-module and ran

mvn clean install‍

It failed with this:

It's failing to run this line:

The question is Why?

My java is

java version "1.8.0_152"

Hi:

What Alfresco version are you using ? Do you know that last Alfresco CE GA (201707) includes the thrascan cleaner ? 

Regards.

I'm on Enterprise 5.1.3

Yes, I know that 5.2.x includes it.

I also know that for large trashcans, the current trashcan cleaner will kill the server, because it gets all child associations instead of getting only a limited number.  That's why I'm trying to change it, but I'm stuck not able to run the tests. 

See java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space due to no limit on getChildAssocs · Issue #2 · Alfresco/...

Hi Ahmed:

Good to know, but I think the idea is not to have a large trashcan, or doing massive deletions (if fact any massive action in the repo).

Another approach I used in Alfresco 5.1 is to use Javascript Console for manually deleting documents and folders with something like:

limpeza lixeira alfresco.js · GitHub 

Delete first documents, and then folders in batches.

If you plan massive deletions, you can delete using (adding) sys:temporary aspect for not passing via Thrashcan.

Regards.

We just accumulated a large trashcan over time, and now we decided to clean it up.  This use case is not supported with the current Alfresco Trashcan Cleaner module.  The original author even acknowledged it with a TODO in the code.

Do you have any idea why I can't run the tests?
