Hi!
Is this issue still actual?

[vivekkr12]

Can be avoided by setting max heap size.
export NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096"

I see the issue even after doing export NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096"...

Please reopen...

@kumarabhirup , Initial issue was related to Node.js configuration rather image itself. If you think that your issue comes from something broken on image, feel free to create the new issue and provide minimal repro steps for the issue.

considering the Node.js document, should be --max-old-space-size=SIZE, but tested both max_old_space_size and max-old-space-size works.

Can be avoided by setting max heap size. export NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096"
Where to put it in github actions?

@AbeerAhmad In run or env blocks.

run

jobs:
  make-love:
    steps:
      - name: "Just do it"
        run: |
        export NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096"
        npm start

env

jobs:
  make-love:
    steps:
      - name: "Nothing is impossible"
        env:
          NODE_OPTIONS: "--max_old_space_size=4096"
        run: npm start

        env:
          NODE_OPTIONS: "--max_old_space_size=4096"
        run: npm start

So the documented option --max-old-space-size works as well as this undocumented snake_case version (--max_old_space_size)?

in my dockerfile

# Set environment variable
ENV NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=4096"
