Node.js heap out of memory

If I remember correctly, there is a strict standard limit for the memory usage in V8 of around 1.7 GB, if you do not increase it manually.

In one of our products we followed this solution in our deploy script:

 node --max-old-space-size=4096 yourFile.js

There would also be a new space command but as I read here: a-tour-of-v8-garbage-collection the new space only collects the newly created short-term data and the old space contains all referenced data structures which should be in your case the best option.

Just in case anyone runs into this in an environment where they cannot set node properties directly (in my case a build tool):

NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096" node ...

You can set the node options using an environment variable if you cannot pass them on the command line.

If you want to increase the memory usage of the node globally - not only single script, you can export environment variable, like this:
export NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096

Then you do not need to play with files when running builds like npm run build.

I encountered this issue when trying to debug with VSCode, so just wanted to add this is how you can add the argument to your debug setup.

You can add it to the runtimeArgs property of your config in launch.json.

See example below. 

{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [{
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Launch Program",
        "program": "${workspaceRoot}\\server.js"
    },
    {
        "type": "node",
        "request": "launch",
        "name": "Launch Training Script",
        "program": "${workspaceRoot}\\training-script.js",
        "runtimeArgs": [
            "--max-old-space-size=4096"
        ]
    }
]}

i was struggling with this even after setting --max-old-space-size.

Then i realised need to put options --max-old-space-size before the karma script.

also best to specify both syntaxes --max-old-space-size and --max_old_space_size my script for karma : 

node --max-old-space-size=8192 --optimize-for-size --max-executable-size=8192  --max_old_space_size=8192 --optimize_for_size --max_executable_size=8192 node_modules/karma/bin/karma start --single-run --max_new_space_size=8192   --prod --aot

fwiw, finding and fixing a memory hog with something like memwatch might help.

Here are some flag values to add some additional info on how to allow more memory when you start up your node server.

1GB - 8GB

#increase to 1gb
node --max-old-space-size=1024 index.js

#increase to 2gb
node --max-old-space-size=2048 index.js 

#increase to 3gb
node --max-old-space-size=3072 index.js

#increase to 4gb
node --max-old-space-size=4096 index.js

#increase to 5gb
node --max-old-space-size=5120 index.js

#increase to 6gb
node --max-old-space-size=6144 index.js

#increase to 7gb
node --max-old-space-size=7168 index.js

#increase to 8gb 
node --max-old-space-size=8192 index.js

I had a similar issue while doing AOT angular build. Following commands helped me.

npm install -g increase-memory-limit
increase-memory-limit

Source: https://geeklearning.io/angular-aot-webpack-memory-trick/

Steps to fix -

  1. Open command prompt and type %appdata% press enter
  2. Navigate to %appdata% > npm folder
  3. Open or Edit ng.cmd in your favorite editor
  4. Add --max_old_space_size=8192 to the IF and ELSE block

Your node.cmd file looks like this after the change:

@IF EXIST "%~dp0\node.exe" (
  "%~dp0\node.exe" "--max_old_space_size=8192" "%~dp0\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng" %*
) ELSE (
  @SETLOCAL
  @SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT:;.JS;=;%
  node "--max_old_space_size=8192" "%~dp0\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng" %*
)

Upgrade node to the latest version. I was on node 6.6 with this error and upgraded to 8.9.4 and the problem went away.

Just in case it may help people having this issue while using nodejs apps that produce heavy logging, a colleague solved this issue by piping the standard output(s) to a file.

I have tried 👍 the below code and its working fine✌.

  • open terminal from project root dir

  • execute the cmd to set new size.

    set NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8172

Or you can check the link for more info https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/10137#issuecomment-487255987

its simple just increase the heap memory from 1 - 8 GBs for windows open powershell or cmd in your project directory and type below command, for mac open terminal in that directory 

node --max-old-space-size={size in MBs} index.js

In my case I had ran npm install on previous version of node, after some day I upgraded node version and ram npm install for few modules. After this I was getting this error. To fix this problem I deleted node_module folder from each project and ran npm install again.

Hope this might fix the problem.

Note : This was happening on my local machine and it got fixed on local machine only.

If you are trying to launch not node itself, but some other soft, for example webpack you can use the environment variable and cross-env package:

$ cross-env NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=4096' \
  webpack --progress --config build/webpack.config.dev.js
