yarn add netlify-cli fails with "JavaScript heap out of memory"

[zmwangx]

Describe the bug

Starting from some time within the past 24 hours, yarn add netlify-cli@latest started failing with "JavaScript heap out of memory". This happens on ubuntu 20.04 on GitHub Actions (see my simple repro repo: https://github.com/zmwangx/netlify-cli-ghactions/runs/4479854634), as well as on local macOS dev machine with ample RAM.

npm install netlify-cli doesn't seem to suffer from this problem, and RAM usage doesn't balloon.

To Reproduce

1. yarn add netlify-cli.

Configuration

N/A.

Expected behavior

yarn add netlify-cli succeeds.

CLI Output

See this test GitHub Actions run that does nothing other than yarn add netlify-cli: https://github.com/zmwangx/netlify-cli-ghactions/runs/4479854634.

Additional context

I tried installing older versions of netlify-cli, including even v6.0.0, same issue. But this issue only started happening in my CI builds some time within the last 24 hours, so it's probably some dependency that's causing the problem. I'm not sure how to pin it down though.

Oh this is a dupe of the confusingly titled #3788...

[kirillgroshkov]

Yup, we see it too since yesterday night!

Thank you @zmwangx and @kirillgroshkov, closing in favor of #3788 (update the title for that issue)
