Running install twice with Polymer hangs the process

[vladikoff]

bower.json config:

{
  "name": "sample",
  "dependencies": {
    "polymer": "Polymer/polymer#~0.3.0",
    "core-menu": "Polymer/core-menu",
    "core-ajax": "Polymer/core-ajax"
  }
}

Running bower install once works properly, if you run bower install again the process will hang. If you leave it running for a while an error will appear:

~/tmp/so-23917177
$ bower install
FATAL ERROR: JS Allocation failed - process out of memory
Abort trap: 6

Details:

$ bower --version
1.3.3
$ npm version
{ http_parser: '1.0',
  node: '0.10.28',
  v8: '3.14.5.9',
  ares: '1.9.0-DEV',
  uv: '0.10.27',
  zlib: '1.2.3',
  modules: '11',
  openssl: '1.0.1g',
  npm: '1.3.26' }

From further testing it seems like the Polymer repo is affected.

There's circular dependency error that is fixed on master but not yet released.

Thanks @sheerun !

@sheerun This is what I was experiencing two weeks ago; I think its finally localized now. Can this be a hotfix? Thanks to you both for looking into this.

Edit: forgot to mention, [at least a partial] workaround seems to be adding a dependency to bower.json and running bower update.

Is this a dupe of #1169?

[silenceisgolden]

@azakus yep, dupe

[vladikoff]

Sure, #1169 seems to be tracking this
