Increase Ganach Gas Limit from Graphic Interface - limit

Question

I am strugguling with Ganache, I have some big tests that I want to run but it is saying :
"X ran out of gas. Something in the constructor (ex: infinite loop) caused gas estimation to fail. Try:
Making your contract constructor more efficient
Setting the gas manually in your config or as a deployment parameter
Using the solc optimizer settings in 'truffle-config.js'
Setting a higher network block limit if you are on a
private network or test client (like ganache)."
I already increased to max gas limit in my file truffle-config.js but it is not enough because limited to 6721975.
I saw some people talking about $ganache -cli -l 30000000 but I dont have ganache in command line.
My question is : How to change this Value ?

Answer 1

Actually, you can't increase the gas limit, but what you can do is create a new workspace and in the initialization parameter set a higher gas limit in the "chain" module.

Answer 2

Please note that, for the latest truffle version, The truffle-config.js is slightly updated in the compilers section, need to add settings attributes for optimizer. Otherwise, the optimizer will not be enabled and you will easily get the following errors:
"YOUR CONTRACT" ran out of gas. Something in the constructor (ex: infinite loop) caused gas estimation to fail. Try:
* Making your contract constructor more efficient
* Setting the gas manually in your config or as a deployment parameter
* Using the solc optimizer settings in 'truffle-config.js'
* Setting a higher network block limit if you are on a
private network or test client (like ganache).
In the following is my truffle-config.js setting for your references:
module.exports = {
// ...Please set your own contracts_directory and contracts_build_directory
networks: {
development: {
host: "127.0.0.1",
port: 8545,
network_id: 5777, //Ganache
}
},
compilers: {
solc: {
version: "0.8.4",
settings: { //need to add "settings" before "optimizer" for latest truffle version
optimizer: {
enabled: true, // enable the optimizer
runs: 200,
},
evmVersion: "berlin",
},
},
},
}
