Bug: Snowpack Javascript heap out of memory during "installing dependencies..." #1548

Snowpack takes 80 seconds to finish "installing dependencies", every time I touch the package.json file. Since this morning, it no longer finishes, crashing and running out of memory:

My project uses the yFiles library, which is distributed as a collection of very large, minified and obfuscated javascript files. I imagine these files are the problem, but these types of dependencies are pretty common when you're working with proprietary/licensed libraries.

Priority: Snowpack is Unuseable

yFiles is already distributes as an ES6 Module. So what is Snowpack doing during 'installing dependencies.." ?

It converts modules to ESM https://www.snowpack.dev/#import-npm-packages

Right, but in this case, it's already an ESM module! (I think). So I believe it should just be doing nothing. 🤔

It shouldn't be doing anything too complex, but we do still bundle multi-file ESM into a single package-name.js file for importing in the browser.

The same for me. Is there any option to write web_modules to disc, why it should be in memory?

I have found that web_modules is in node_modules/.cache/snowpack/. Those files seem to regenerate when I start the dev server.

The same happens with a fairly small TypeScript/React codebase.
Snowpack version ^2.17.1.

More context:
npx snowpack install finishes alright, snowpack dev is what's failing.

For powershell: $Env:NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" although I had to use 8192 in my case.

Thanks everyone for jumping in here, would love to get this fixed. We've heard a few reports of this, but no one has been able to generate a useful heapdump to investigate these memory issues with. If anyone is able to run through these steps on their machine to generate one, that would be amazingly useful: https://medium.com/@wavded/how-to-heap-snapshots-aac9284d5329

I'm doing export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" && yarn dev which is not quite ideal tbh.

this does not prevent mine from crashing...

jonrimmer Feb 17, 2021

@FredKSchott I tried following the instructions in the page you linked and they did not work. The heapdump produced is empty. This is a known caveat of Heapdump. You cannot produce heapdumps of massive, multi-gigabyte heaps like Snowpack produces.

Do you have any other suggestions about how to debug this?

sepehr500 Apr 23, 2021

Setting the max size worked for me. If you want to reproduce this, try installing @arcgis/core and importing import MapView from "@arcgis/core/views/MapView"

Try using >8192.

So.... the only solution is to just increase memory limit ?

rizrmd Feb 8, 2021

No, it's stilll happen... but it holds longer and then crash.

Increasing the limit is not a solution. I get a spinning cursor in the browser window and then the crash (after a couple of minutes). I'm dead in the water.
