Is this a regression?

Yes, this is a regression. Downgrading @angular-devkit/build-angular to 0.801.2 fixes the issue and ES5 bundles can be created successfully.

Description

A clear and concise description of the problem...

ES5 bundles fail to be generated with the error "Maximum call stack size exceeded". In my case, I am building an application with Ionic, which leverages ES5. This appears to have been introduced with this commit.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

I have created a repository that demonstrates this bug.

• Checkout https://github.com/devinshoemaker/repro-max-call-stack
• npm install
• ng build

If you downgrade @angular-devkit/build-angular then build will complete successfully.

• npm install @angular-devkit/[email protected]
• ng build

Issues that don't have enough info and can't be reproduced will be closed.

@devinshoemaker, thanks a lot for the repo. Will post it in other issue.

[clydin]

To confirm behavior, I can reproduce ng build failing.
But the following were successful:

ng build --source-map=false
ng build --prod
ng build --prod --source-map

@devinshoemaker Can you confirm the above on your machine?

[alan-agius4]

@clydin, I got the same results.

[devinshoemaker]

@clydin I got the same results as well.

[clydin]

@devinshoemaker If you have some time can you try one more thing? Add the following source map options to the build target options object (note the vendor: true part) and try an ng build:

            "sourceMap": {
              "scripts": true,
              "styles": true,
              "vendor": true
            }

[devinshoemaker]

@clydin adding that to my angular.json resulted in a successful build.

            }

This worked for me too, But I have no idea why.

Your other solution works as well: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16515#issuecomment-572625203

Also runing ng build --prod works for me.

2nd and maybe 3rd suggest this is a memory problem which for me makes some sense, but every single error I've had mentions node_modules\jest-worker\build\workers\processChild.js, also everyone who pasted a log when creating an issue like this mentions jest-worker. Yet my project has no test written yet at all. Is no one suspicious of this? Could this be some jest bug?

[devinshoemaker]

@aledujke have you updated your Angular version? This was fixed for me in a more recent update.

I had to downgrade from ^0.803.25 (after running an ng update @angular/cli@^8) to 0.801.2 to get round the issue when trying to run a non-prod ng build --stats-json:

An unhandled exception occurred: Call retries were exceeded

[anno1985]

I got around the issue with the latest "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^0.803.25", by running node --max_old_space_size=4096 node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng build --stats-json as suggested by clydin here: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16515#issuecomment-572625203
The --max_old_space_size flag is discussed here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/7937

[aledujke]

@devinshoemaker yes it is fixed for me too now.
