Maximum call stack size exceeded for build with Angular CLI

Question

I have a large project which was till now running on webpack and all was working well with [email protected]. Today I planned to shift the same to ng-cli to exploit features like universal. Everything is working well and good except when i try to build the project in prod/prod+aot i am getting: Maximum call stack size exceeded.

Checked various place for the issue and most of people are telling to check for circular dependency. But as per the latest [email protected] the circular dependency should have been shown build time, which is not the case. I was planning to increase node virtual machine stack size but couldn't figure out to achieve that. I don't want to use ng eject and get into the webpack mess again.

Are there some other approaches or solutions out there with [email protected]

Thanks

Answer 1

Me and my team currently encoutered this issue. I have tried everyting, from removing entirely the usage of barrels within our app (I thought it was a circular dependency issue, as many SO questions led me to believe)

My local environment was working well, but a fresh deployment was having maximum call stack issues.

Upon comparing my node modules, I noticed that zone.js was now at 0.8.17 (0.8.16 before)

I thus forced 0.8.16 in my package.json, and everything worked.. BLAH 8 hours on this !

Hope this helps you.

EDIT

Here is the github issue : https://github.com/angular/zone.js/issues/886

As of now, there is a pull request made to fix this issue.

Answer 2

Found the solution, had some circular dependencies in my lazy loaded routes and modules.
