Description

I'm facing an exception after upgrading the groovy-all version used for testing in my Gradle project from 3.0.13 to 4.0.13.

> Task :compileTestGroovy FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':compileTestGroovy'.
  > Java heap space

The current temporary solution is to increase jvmArgs.

jvmArgs = ['-Xms512m', '-Xmx1g']
↓
jvmArgs = ['-Xms512m', '-Xmx2g']

I have created a validation project, analyzed the memory, and found an increase in memory usage for org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ClassNode in version 4.0.13, particularly when there are a large number of test classes.
