FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed

[sn10-debug]

I am trying to deploy locally but I am not able to solve this issue and thus I am not able to see the changes. I saw a existing solution but that didn't help.

Hey there, @sn10-debug! I'm here to help you with any bugs or questions you have while waiting for a human maintainer. Let's tackle this issue together!

The error message "FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed" typically indicates that the Node.js process is running out of memory. Here are a few steps you can take to address this issue:

1. Increase Memory Limit: You can increase the memory limit for Node.js by setting the --max-old-space-size flag. For example, to increase the memory limit to 4 GB, you can start your Node.js application with the following command:

   node --max-old-space-size=4096 your_script.js

2. Optimize Code: Review your code for any memory leaks or inefficient memory usage patterns. This might involve checking for large data structures that can be optimized or ensuring that unused objects are properly dereferenced.

3. Check Dependencies: Ensure that any third-party libraries or dependencies you are using are up-to-date and do not have known memory management issues.

4. Profiling and Monitoring: Use tools like Node.js's built-in --inspect flag or third-party tools like clinic.js to profile your application and identify memory bottlenecks.

If you have already tried a solution and it didn't help, it might be worth revisiting the specific changes you made or exploring other areas of your codebase that could be contributing to high memory usage.
