Upgrading to v11.8.x asset compilation fails with `FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory`
When trying to upgrade to v11.8.x and running bundle exec gitlab:assets:compile
, during the webpack:compile
task, it fails with:
FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
I had to compile them outside of the rake task, increasing max_old_space_size
:
sudo -u git -H node --max_old_space_size=8192 node_modules/.bin/webpack --config config/webpack.config.js --bail
This happened with node v8 and v9
I imagine this will happen each time I upgrade until I find a way to increase max_old_space_size
by default.
I'm installing from source
I found the webpack issue and workaround here: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/1914
