Ok. I have learned way more about npm than I ever set out for.

But after changing ~/node_modules/.bin/jarle to just:

/usr/bin/node --max-old-space-size=1024 ~/node_modules/yarle-evernote-to-md/dist/dropTheRope.js $@

It works.

There is something in the startup script that npm installs that causes the hang.

EDIT: Also if I check out the code and npm build && npm start it runs fine from the git clone directory.

@sedlund , Thanks for the dockerfile and start script, I was able to reproduce the issue as well. What I found is this: my start script is the following:

#!/usr/bin/env node --max-old-space-size=1024
/* istanbul ignore file */
// tslint:disable:no-console

import * as dropTheRopeRunner from './dropTheRopeRunner';

dropTheRopeRunner.run({});
// tslint:enable:no-console

and if I remove the space-size setting console parameter after node, its runs as expected. If it’s there, it hangs. I’ll investigate the possible solutions further.

Thank you very much for your effort, you helped a lot, it would not have been done without you.
