How to fix the following build error in travis-ci: FATAL ERROR: CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

Languages Node.js

npm run build works perfectly when ran locally.

However travis-ci keeps failing remotely and reports the following error every time:

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

You can find the full project source code at react-hot-starter

Below is the full stacktrace for the erroneous script:

$ npm run build

Hello @mateja176 did you found a solution for this issue?

We are currently experiencing the same and not sure what to do. I have set the --max-old-space-size in the node command, but this still doesn’t work.

Let me know if the issues was fixed, Thanks in advance.

@IreneMarquet I haven’t heard anything back regarding this issue. I’ve also posted a question on stackoverflow, but there’s been no responses so far.

@mateja176 good news! we were able to solve it by including in the before_script in travis file:

  • export NODE_OPTIONS=–max_old_space_size=4096

Give it a try. Depending on how much memory you need you might need to increase it to:

  • export NODE_OPTIONS=–max_old_space_size=8192
