Approaches already used to resolve the issue

I configured the resources I was allocating to Docker to the following:

• CPU limit: 5 (my CPU has 6 cores & 6 threads)
• Memory limit: 8 GB
• Swap: 1.5 GB (2 GB total)
• Virtual disk limit: 64 GB (can go up to 467 GB)

The same response occurred upon running the same command.

Additional information

No response

@StephenYu2018 I found this SO thread about "error 137" for Docker. Do any of the ideas mentioned there help? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59296801/docker-compose-exit-code-is-137-when-there-is-no-oom-exception

[StephenYu2018]

@seanlip Most of the suggestions in that SO thread tell me to allocate more RAM to Docker. However, I've already allocated 12 GB RAM, which is double the usual 6 GB RAM.

@seanlip I took a look at the logs for the oppia-angular-build container. I got the following error message:

@StephenYu2018 Can you run make clean and make run-devserver again.
If the issue persists, please clear the build cache and try again.

Let me know if the issue continues to persist.

[StephenYu2018]

@gp201 I tried make clean and make run-devserver again and the same error occurred.

Also, how do I clear the build cache?

[StephenYu2018]

@seanlip @gp201 I managed to unblock myself by reinstalling Oppia in a folder outside of my old /open-source folder. I think the problem might have to do with the fact that when I was transitioning from Python to Docker, I never got rid of the folders containing Python setup dependencies that were in /open-source and outside of /open-source/oppia.

The reinstalled copy of Oppia runs successfully.

@StephenYu2018 Thanks for sharing the solution with the community 😄
