Thanks! Would you provide a reproduction? 🙏

so the error is different than on my local repo... but maybe because the repo is bigger it just takes longer and therefor uses more memory trying to build

[imrim12]

Having the same issue when i upgrade to 3.0.0-rc.4, it was fine before

[mklueh]

Same here, but only in CI using GitHub Actions and using Netlify CLI to build, see https://github.com/nuxt/framework/discussions/1799#discussioncomment-3033754

[itslucylol]

Im having this issue both locally and with Cloudflare's automated build system on rc6

[danielroe]

However, I still cannot reproduce this with the updated reproduction.

But, I think we can tentatively suggest that this might be an issue with rollup, which takes a fair amount of memory when compiling. In the original issue reporter's case, it's not vite but the nitro rollup build, but still this issue is relevant: vitejs/vite#2433 (comment).

You might try disabling sourcemaps:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  sourcemap: false
})

Not reproducable by @danielroe, welp, let's close this! Gotta bring that issue count down my nuxt friends 💚
