Describe the bug
Hi, for no obvious reason I ran into an error during npx nuxthub deploy telling me "JavaScript heap out of memory", which stops the build.
The origin of this error is concerning, but right now I just need to be able to keep deploying my app.
Exporting the NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=4096' env variable in the terminal doesn't help.
I've been able to build my app by updating my package.json with the line :

    "build": "NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=4096' nuxt build",

The problem is running npx nuxthub deploy doesn't call pnpm build so I still can't deploy from my computer. It's been a good reason to setting up github actions, and I'm now able to deploy through github actions, which works well.

Note I'm able to build my app by running pnpm build.

How can I keep deploying through the nuxthub cli with this JS heap out of memory problem ?

Now github actions can help me with the need to be able to keep deploying, I'd like to understand what's going on. Have you an idea about the origin of the JS heap out of memory problem ? How can I trace the error ?

Thanks !

You can use pnpm build and then call npx nuxthub deploy --no-build command as workaround.

We encountered this heap out of memory issue and are investigating too, sorry about this.

Also, if you migrate to the NuxtHub GitHub action, the build & deploy are separated (see https://hub.nuxt.com/docs/getting-started/deploy#default-workflow)

Glad to see it’s not just me and that you’re on it! I recently switched to GitHub Actions and noticed that the build and deployment phases were separate, which let me add the environment variable I mentioned earlier.

Thanks a lot! I’d love to help debug, but this is way beyond what I can figure out…

[atinux]

No worries at all! Is your deployment working again now?

[arkhaiel]

Yes, it works when I deploy with the github actions, and it's all I need to keep building for now ! Thanks a lot !

I have other issues but they're related to my skills so I'll keep trying for now 😂

I'm seeing this when the builds happen in github actions. I'm not sure why, In the past I would just bump the memory limit there. But it could also be caused by the @nuxt/icon module. I haven't quite figured out the root cause.
