npm build gives “Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed”

Question

I have a reactjs/typescript project, running on windows 10. Im trying to build by ts-scripts with

\"rimraf ../wwwroot/* && react-scripts-ts build

Answer 1

I have been facing this problem for some time. The problem is most likely caused by a dependancy or component which is a large .js file. I am currently using this package to successfully fix the issue.

You basically install it globally:

npm install -g increase-memory-limit

And then from within your project root you run:

increase-memory-limit

Which will append --max-old-space-size=4096 in all node calls inside your node_modules/.bin/* files.
