Which version of windows and.which hardware are you running?

[mschreiber16]

I have confirmed this on Windows 10 Enterprise Version: 21H2.

Do you happen to use/develop for golang yourselves on these hosts? Do you have GOARCH or GOHOSTARCH set in environment or anything like that on these machines?

I can only find things like golang/go#64530

I've tried rebuilding the plugin in https://github.com/getgauge/spectacle/releases/tag/v0.2.1 in a desperate attempt to see if that does anything to fix the issue. Can you let me know if 0.2.1 fixes the problem?

[mschreiber16]

Unfortunately I still can't replicate this making it difficult to figure out where/how to fix. Which approach did you use to install Gauge itself?

Gauge was installed using installer from Gauge website and any updates to gauge would have been performed in the command line

We do not use golang or goarch or gohostarch. 0.2.1 has the same issue as originally stated.

[mschreiber16]

Yeah should be.

At least that helps confirm that something regressed (likely with the golang upgrade) in the 0.2.0 version of the plugin 😓

Tried 0.1.4 on Windows 10 and that failed with the following.
[Gauge]
Failed to generate docs. rpc error: code = ResourceExhausted desc = grpc: received message larger than max (10566014 vs. 10485760)
Guessing the entire project was too large. I reran Spectacle using a specific folder with less specs and that seemed to work on Windows 10.

I'm not sure in any case, as I can't replicate any such issue; while following the same architecture and versions you describe.

There's clearly some edge case, or some combination of OS configuration/software that can trigger the main issue here (or some extra windows package whose installation makes the problem go away), so I don't think we're going to get anywhere unless someone tries to figure it out themselves, or provides a way to recreate the issue on a "clean" neutral environment/virtual machine outside whatever corporate/enterprise configuration they are using.
