DEVSERVER ERROR: regular expression code size limit exceeded

[Brian Becker]

My regular expression is 47k. 

I get this error when running on the DevServer but it runs fine on GAE. 

How can I increase the size of the Regular Expression limit on the DevServer?

[Brian Becker]

I still need an answer to this. The RegEx runs great on GAE but not in the DevServer because it gives "regular expression code size limit exceeded" 

And yes, my RegEx is actually 47k.

Wow, that's some crazy regex.

Can you confirm that it runs correctly on your local JVM outside of the DevServer. If not, then this isn't a GAE issue - you need to find out why from your JVM provider. Maybe Google use 64bit and you use 32bit? Or different vendors (OpenJDK vs Sun vs whatever)?

Whoops – detail missing: This is Python.

 

The code is very complex…I’m not sure how easy it will be to run it outside the DevServer. Is that really the only way to figure this out?

Well you dont need to run the whole code. Just extract the regular expression.

But you really do need to narrow it down to where the underlying issue
is. Removing components from the situation is a good way to narrow it
down. Repeat until find the exact cause. Sort of a binary search :)
