FATAL ERROR: JS Allocation failed - process out of memory #18

Open jblaker opened 10 years ago

jblaker commented 10 years ago

Getting the error: "FATAL ERROR: JS Allocation failed - process out of memory" when trying to zip up ~400MB of video files.

Was using grunt-contrib-compress prior to grunt-zip but it wasn't flexible enough so I switched. Thing is grunt-contrib-compress had no problem zipping up the files so it isn't a memory issue (I have 8GBs).

This probably is a memory issue. node-zip isn't a streaming API so all the information is loaded into memory and manipulated there. There seems to be another grunt plugin which uses a streaming flavor, can you try that one out?

Yeah that works but doesn't give me the routing functionality that your most excellent plugin does. I'll keep looking around. Thanks!

Ah, I see. I will leave this issue open but I cannot make any promises of when I will be able to get to it.

Same problem trying to unzip a 4MB exe from a 17MB zip file.

Any news on this? It uses a lot of RAM (> 8 GB) when trying to unzip a 400 MB zip file.

@Rudloff As suggested in https://github.com/twolfson/grunt-zip/issues/18#issuecomment-25671629, please try out a streaming ZIP plugin like grunt-zipstream. It looks like node-zip still doesn't support streams =/
