App: https://github.com/NativeScript/NativeScript/tree/master/apps
Emulator: Api 24 - Intel x86 Atom System Image

Change the _apps/app/ui-tests-app/flexbox/flexbox.ts_ file.
It seems that something during

Hook completed

causes the error.

According this stackoverflow thread the problem may be allocating too much memory. Here is the suggested sollution

node --max_old_space_size=4096 yourFile.js

I am not sure how we can test it in the context of tns without manual editing the file.

I'm using [email protected], and all libs up to date, and it isn't working, I'm getting the same error.
And I have only 4gb of RAM

[alansousa]

I saw that my problem was, of course, my 32bits environment, so I change 'native-dev-typescript\lib\compiler.js' to set '--max_old_space_size=4096' to '--max_old_space_size=2048'
and set JAVA_OPTS = -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=256m -XX:MaxNewSize=356m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=356m.

It works to me!

Solution that worked for me :

_webpack.config.js_

if (uglify) {
        config.plugins.push(new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({ minimize: true }));

        // Work around an Android issue by setting compress = false
        const compress = platform !== "android";

        config.plugins.push(new UglifyJsPlugin({
            parallel: true,
            uglifyOptions: {
                mangle: { reserved: nsWebpack.uglifyMangleExcludes },
                compress,
            },
            cache: join(__dirname, 'webpack-cache/uglify-cache')
        }));
    }

The build time is even faster !
