Memory Limitations in XmlProvider about fsharp.data HOT 10 OPEN

Can you post the stack trace when this happens?

from fsharp.data.

this is the complete error message (copied from fsi):

System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

Any other way to retrieve info about the error?

from fsharp.data.

Thanks! In this case it seems the size of the string is too big, as this is failing with the internal StringBuilder used in the XML Reader. Are you running in a 32-bit process?

from fsharp.data.

@cartermp No, I have not configured fsi in any way. I'm running on MacOS if that makes a difference.

Does it matter if the source file encoding is UTF8 or UTF16 ?

from fsharp.data.

@Thorium Can you point to where I should set the encoding? I tried the following:
let text = File.ReadAllText(path, Encoding.UTF32)
which didn't work, unfortunately. UTF16 wasn't available either.

from fsharp.data.

I meant if you have the file as XML, if it's UTF16 then consider converting it to UTF8 to use less memory, e.g. Notepad++ tells you:

from fsharp.data.

@Thorium Hi, I just opened it in Notepad++; The file was encoded in UTF-8 to begin with.

Try using fsiAnyCpu - fsi runs 32-bit by default

from fsharp.data.

@dsyme That doesn't seem to be the issue - i ran the script within Rider, which is anycpu by default as I checked. I also ran a console program, but it's still an OutOfMemoryException.
