[Bundle] "Allocation failed - process out of memory" in OSX making bundle

[Takeno]

I get an error archiving iOS app, while react-native-xcode.sh is running.

I have found the command which throw the error:

$ react-native bundle --entry-file index.ios.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output /Users/matteo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XXX-giksyrhhnbtkzvexaglpgclnuxxc/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/XXX/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/XXX.app/main.jsbundle --assets-dest /Users/matteo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XXX-giksyrhhnbtkzvexaglpgclnuxxc/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/XXX/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/XXX.app --verbose

Output:

Hey Takeno, thanks for reporting this issue!

React Native, as you've probably heard, is getting really popular and truth is we're getting a bit overwhelmed by the activity surrounding it. There are just too many issues for us to manage properly.

• If you don't know how to do something or something is not working as you expect but not sure it's a bug, please ask on StackOverflow with the tag react-native or for more real time interactions, ask on Discord in the #react-native channel.
• If this is a feature request or a bug that you would like to be fixed, please report it on Product Pains. It has a ranking feature that lets us focus on the most important issues the community is experiencing.
• We welcome clear issues and PRs that are ready for in-depth discussion. Please provide screenshots where appropriate and always mention the version of React Native you're using. Thank you for your contributions!

Just to help someone else, increasing the node memory space-size I'm able to make the bundle:

node --max-old-space-size=4096 /Users/matteo/.nvm/versions/node/v5.4.0/bin/react-native bundle --entry-file index.ios.js --platform ios --dev false --bundle-output /Users/matteo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XXX-giksyrhhnbtkzvexaglpgclnuxxc/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/XXX/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/XXX.app/main.jsbundle --assets-dest /Users/matteo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XXX-giksyrhhnbtkzvexaglpgclnuxxc/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/XXX/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/XXX.app --verbose

I just got the same error trying to deploy for Android.

Running:

$ node -v
v5.7.0

Didn't change anything major to the workflow since last release.

@Takeno I was able to use your solution to generate my apk anyway, thanks!

[abhinavsingi]

@Takeno @Bhullnatik - you can try this
Increase node memory

[Takeno]

@abhinavsingi - Yeah, it was I did to run with more memory. But I don't know if it is caused by a memory leak of packager or too many dependecies to be bundled. e.g. my not minified bundle ios is about 40MB.

[pesterhazy]

Seeing a similar problem when running the packager (0.19) on OSX (machine has 4GB). The command line is:

"node" "--max-old-space-size=4096" "/Users/macmini/.jenkins/jobs/integration/workspace/ios/app/node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js" "bundle" "--platform" "ios" "--dev" "true" "--entry-file" "nested/temp/6bae1978-4954-41ec-9b84-0cac4d865cec.js" "--bundle-output" "/Users/macmini/.boot/cache/tmp/Users/macmini/.jenkins/jobs/integration/workspace/ios/1r3o/ho4uid/main.jsbundle" "--assets-dest" "/Users/macmini/.boot/cache/tmp/Users/macmini/.jenkins/jobs/integration/workspace/ios/1r3o/ho4uid"

The GC log says:

[abhinavsingi]

@pesterhazy Did you try with "--max-old-space-size=8192"?

[pesterhazy]

@abhinavsingi, I did, but it did not have any effect on the memory consumption -- it maxed out at 1.4G (verified using htop).

Actually when the packager runs, there are multiple node processes running. max-old-space-size only applies to the parent process, but the worker processes don't inherit the command line argument (you can see that using ps). The code uses https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_fork_modulepath_args_options, and I don't see a way to have the heap size propagate to the child processes.

@Bhullnatik how you succeed on android?

Could you share the command used?

Until now I built the apk using ./gradlew assembleRelease but it doesn't work anymore...

[Bhullnatik]

@pianetarosso I modified the command in react.gradle from

commandLine "react-native", "bundle", "--platform", "android", "--dev", "${devEnabled}",
"--entry-file", entryFile, "--bundle-output", jsBundleFile, "--assets-dest", resourcesDir

to

commandLine "usr/local/bin/node", "--max-old-space-size=4096", "/usr/local/bin/react-native", "bundle", "--platform", "android", "--dev", "${devEnabled}",
"--entry-file", entryFile, "--bundle-output", jsBundleFile, "--assets-dest", resourcesDir

The paths might be relative to your system configuration.

[pianetarosso]

It worked!!! Thank you

[MB-Hilo]

I cannot locate the react.gradle file specified above. Could you share a windows path?
