artifacts too large?

hi I think my artifacts are too large, after the 1.38 update. I'm using gitlab.com which should have Artifacts maximum size (compressed) of 1 GB. I even changed my config to:

video: 'off',

Is there a way to find out how large the artifacts are? Or did I just reached the limit?

This thread is trying to answer question "How can I find out how large my artifacts are and have I reached the limit?"

How many tests are running?

about 700

Hm, if 100+ fails then I guess it's somewhat appropriate size. Traces are quite heavy. Zipping does not help much because traces are zips already.

You can try disabling screenshots and sources for traces for example, that might cut the size but with 1gb limit you might still encounter issues.

not easily

Thanks reducing what's included in the Traces helped me to reduce each trace size about from 5 MiB to 2 MiB

are you storing any other type of reports? This would also add to the size considerably

oh great point! I've got: reporter: 'html'

I probably should change it in CI env?

Hm, html report itself (index.html) consumes roughly >10mb so it's not a big deal. However, html report copies all traces, videos and screenshots as well. So if you're saving html report and traces separately then it will take a lot of storage. But if you were using traces from html report then it's ok.
