Ionic-cli: Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

[chack]

Ionic Serve runs without problems, but Ionic run iOS gives me this:

I've gotten this too while using ionic serve. Specifically while making changes really quick to the codebase as I was migrating to RC0. Maybe saving files too quickly?

[Lingomat]

Related to #1433 ?

[chack]

@tlaverdure ionic serves performs well on the first try. But yes, if i change files quickly this runs into error too. But here the ionic run/ionic build query doesn't work at all. It always crashes at the bundle step... I tried the stock tab app, this works fine...

@Lingomat Maybe...

[chack]

I changed following line in package.json:

"build": "ionic-app-scripts watch",
into
"build": "node --max-old-space-size=2048 ./node_modules/.bin/ionic-app-scripts build",

now it works!

[jthoms1]

@chack That will work for now, but we are aware of this issue still occuring and are working on a fix.

Can I get a more detailed capture (more lines of output) of your command lines before the failure. This should help in troubleshooting.

Thanks!

[gfviegas]

@jthoms1 not to mention this heap out of memory is happening way too often but the whole build it's also way too slow...

Anyway, i'm getting this after some changes .. here are my lines of output in ionic serve command:

@arturalkaim I upgraded typescript to 2.0.10 and it worked for me.

[tamerbak]

Same problem..

    Cordova CLI: 6.3.1 
    Ionic Framework Version: 2.2.0
    Ionic CLI Version: 3.0.0-beta.4

    Node Version: v6.9.1
    Xcode version: Xcode 8.2 Build version 8C38

(typescript 2.0.9)
webpack finish in 247 s !
Upgrading to typescript 2.0.10 doesn't resolve the problem. (Even the last version 2.2.1)

[drewhawken]

@tamerbak I was running into the same issue, the only thing that I could work around this issue was to edit top of the file ./node_modules/lib/@ionic/app-scripts/bin/ionic-app-scripts.js and add the following to the top of the file:
#!/usr/bin/env node --max-old-space-size=4096

[tamerbak]

@drewhawken, Thanks for this workaround, this is what I did finally.. But I had to downgrade ionic CLI version to 2.2.1 to overcome this issue.
I should notify that, I'm working on another application with less pages, and this issue doesn't appear, with the last beta version of ionic CLI and without your workaround.

[timothybclayton]

I've was able to workaround this issue on Ionic v3.5, Ionic cli 3.4.0, and Node.js 6.9.1. We have a big app with lots of modules and heap space errors occurring every build, whether "ionic serve", or "ionic cordova run --prod".

Modify your ionic.cmd file in C:UsersAppDataRoamingnpm by adding --max_old_space_size. I set mine to 8096.

@IF EXIST "%~dp0node.exe" (
"%~dp0node.exe" --max_old_space_size=8048 "%~dp0node_modulesionicbinionic" %*
) ELSE (
@SETLOCAL
@SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT:;.JS;=;%
node --max_old_space_size=8048 "%~dp0node_modulesionicbinionic" %*
)

Good luck!

[AnkitMaheshwariIn]

@timothybclayton Thanks for posting your solution! This modification in ionic.cmd worked for me.

How to workaround it on OSX? Thanks

[drewhawken]

@qiluo if you take a look at my previous comment, I had to reimplement it for this build of the tool.

Adding the following to ./node_modules/lib//bin/ionic-app-scripts.js:
#!/usr/bin/env node --max-old-space-size=4096

[qiluo]

@drewhawken, thanks, I've tried your solution which properly worked-around the issue. But the issue occurred on our build machine (one Mac mini), the build dir got wiped every time and I need a global permanent configuration, for the moment I found this tiny tool can do the trick, I added it to our pre-build hook.

Anyway, hopefully there will be a cli option since ionic itself will get upgraded sometimes, the environment would change as well sometimes.

[imhoffd]

If on macOS or linux, this might work (untested):

put this in .bashrc and open a new terminal:

alias ionic="node --max-old-space-size=4096 $(which ionic)"
