Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Needs clarification
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: csharp
Domain: operating-systems, testing-qa

Research direction

Start with the referenced GitHub Actions job on Fedora 41 ppc64le under .NET 9.0, compare the report with issue #86069, and trace the stack through JsonDataSerializer.cs, TestRequestHandler.cs, and DefaultTestPlatformContractResolver.cs. Done means reproducing the failure and verifying a fix for the OutOfMemoryException in this serialization path.

Hi there,

This issue probably connected with #86069. The virtual machine on POWER9 works properly on my tests, BUT I got a ton of same errors on QEMU x64 with Fedora 41 ppc64le + .NET 9.0 ppc64le. Please see https://github.com/JetBrains/format-ripper/actions/runs/12204385970/job/34049372306
