[dmitry-yudakov]

Update !!!!

The reason is circular dependency in https://github.com/oclif/oclif/issues/758

Original issue

Intended outcome: Successful installation.

Actual outcome: Yarn package manager crash with out of memory exception in clean project. Npm installation goes well.

How to reproduce the issue:

mkdir demo
cd demo
yarn init -y
yarn add apollo

Versions

yarn 1.22.17 apollo-2.33.9 (probably, since it's the latest current at the moment)

The result output of the operation.

$ yarn add apollo
yarn add v1.22.17

[1]    762 abort      yarn add apollo

I tried installing the peer dependencies and warnings go away but it still crashes.

I'm on Mac, I checked with few colleagues with ubuntu linux but the result is the same in all cases. Increasing the memory for node doesn't help.

I discovered it doing yarn upgrade of our project and was able to narrow it down to apollo package. It was working fine 4 days ago.

also getting this when installing an older pinned version using yarn add apollo@2.33.7. Our CI/CD keeps failing since a few hours because of this

I was thinking it might be some peer-peer dependency that received an update, but I'm not seeing any dependencies in the package.json with a ^ :thinking:

It seems the root cause is https://github.com/oclif/oclif/issues/758

I am also experiencing this issue. I have created a blank project with npm init and I'm just trying to install this package and no matter which version I try to install I get the memory issue.

There is a temporary fix out there for this now, please see https://github.com/oclif/oclif/issues/758#issue-1076987354 for more details.
