pnpm: Heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

pnpm version: 7.2.1

I’m trying to compile https://github.com/ledgerhq/ledger-live and when I do I’m getting this error:

The original issue was about pnpm run. Don’t post here issues related to out-of-memory errors while using other commands. I have fixed an OOM error in the install command recently. But it is not related to this issue.

Create new issues.

@yarinsa Can you confirm that you have a WORKDIR in your Dockerfile?

thynson on Apr 23, 2023

@BirkhoffLee I reproduced your case, and it indeed reached heap limit when run in Docker. But the problem is, you should not add -r option as you’re not in a monorepo, pnpm install --offline --prod will do it for you instantly. @zkochan I did not checked the code, but I guess when pnpm-workspace.yaml is not present, adding-r options to install lead pnpm dive into the virtual store. If that is the case, probably it’d be better to default to ‘!node_modules/**’ when scanning for workspace packages.

same error from pnpm list

looks like infinite recursion in a circular dependency graph

cd $(mktemp -d)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/TanStack/query
cd query
pnpm install
pnpm list -r --depth 999
