ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

Agent version: 2.126

I am trying to build an Angular 4 app online with VSTS. Locally, things work fine. The only difference I can see is that locally I am using latest Nodejs v 8.X.

The errors I am getting online from Build process are:

Any idea why I would get such errors?

@bhaidar are you using Hosted agent provided by VSTS? if so you can try install node.js 8 during your build, doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/build-release/concepts/process/tasks#tool-installers also, you can check this repos if you think node 8 is required on the image. https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-image-generation

Thanks, @TingluoHuang. It works :-) I installed the version of Node I need.

Question, I am not that familiar with the VSTS agents. Where can I find in depth information about VSTS and how builds or tasks run in which environment, etc.

Thanks

[TingluoHuang]

cool, i will close the issue.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/build-release/concepts/agents/agents might be a good start point, https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent/tree/master/docs also cover some topic, can you always check the code since the agent is open sourced. :)

Hello again @TingluoHuang I am facing the same issue again! I have Node 8.10.0. Locally I can build my Angular 4 app, while on the Hosted Agent, I am not able to build it.

@bhaidar can you repro it all the time? if so, i would suggest open issue at https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-image-generation and seek help from node.js org
