Error in ionic cordova build android --prod

[AnkitMaheshwariIn]

FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

Error when running command: ionic cordova build android --prod

Note: that ionic build android, ionic run android and ionic serve all works fine.

I've read many topics that says once the project gets bigger, it stops working.

It was working the day before issue arrive. It stopped working as we added more files and JSON for translation of app in multi-language.

Is it a known issue? Is there any solution?

It's been more than a month, does anyone have an answer to at least those 2 questions?

• Is it a known issue?
• Is there any solution?

Happens for me too

A guy posted this in another issue and it works for now, but it should probably be documented as a limitation.

1. add this to the package.json scripts "ionic:build": "node --max-old-space-size=8192 ./node_modules/@ionic/app-scripts/bin/ionic-app-scripts.js build",

2. run the command: npm run ionic:build --prod

3. run the commands:

   cordova build android --release
   cordova build ios --release

There seems to be a memory leak in webpack when using the module concatination plugin and source maps. I got rid of the memory issues by setting ionic_source_map_type to cheap-source-map

in package.json worked for me:

  "config": {
    "ionic_source_map_type": "cheap-source-map"
  }

Please keep in mind that this will skip source maps for dev builds as well. We can make a custom webpack config file as workaround.

I still need a solution for this. I'm able to run it locally following the steps provided, but on my CI I can´t change from ionic cordova build ... --prod to npm run ionic:build

[nandyx]

Update the dev dependency @ionic/app-scriptsto 3.1.9 and build correctly.

refer to this link if you are using firebase https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/memory-leak-when-generate-a-production-version-of-small-app/129077/5?u=michaele

@nandyx it is not building even if i give him 8 Gb of ram it consume it and no build is released.... why we we separate everywhere

ionic cordova build --release

and

ionic cordova build --release --prod --aot

I think this is the command we are looking for my build was becoming 1.4 from 9 before something crashes and i cannot rebuild...

I try to install 8.9.0 8.9.4 10.0.0 node and reinstall all ionic and cordova packages nothing works....

You can try: For iOS:

"node --max-old-space-size=8192 /usr/local/bin/ionic cordova build ios --prod"

Similar for Android:

"node --max-old-space-size=8192 /usr/local/bin/ionic cordova build android --prod"

[Stradivario]

@raghav-khunger this solution is not working everywhere.And the bundler isn't suppose to use 8 + GB of ram :)

[raghav-axero]

@Stradivario Well, for me adding that 8GB indicator worked and I was able to build it.
