mattermost-mobile: Node crashes during build
Summary
When trying to build 1.13.1 on an F-Droid build VM, Node crashes during bundleReleaseJsAndAssets
.
Steps to reproduce
The build recipe is available here but except for the patching, we are basically running this:
make pre-run
gradle assembleRelease
Expected behavior
The app should build correctly.
Observed behavior
The build fails with this error:
DEBUG: buildserver > Execution failed for task ':app:bundleReleaseJsAndAssets'.
DEBUG: buildserver > > Process 'command 'node'' finished with non-zero exit value 137
Possible fixes
This error is probably caused by a lack of memory (our build VMs have 2 GB of RAM and I can’t reproduce the issue on my computer with 12 GB of RAM). Is there a way to limit the amount of memory used by the React Native build script?
(Also, I can’t reproduce this with 1.11.0 so I suppose recent versions started to use more ressources.)

I found a way to limit the amount of memory Node can use:
I still wish this could be done automatically but at least we can build the app now 🙂
