wasm code commit Allocation failed - process out of memory

Question

I have a nodejs script which was working fine on nodejs 12. I got a new macbook air on which I installed nodejs LTS 14. The scripts was not working as intended so I have downgraded it to nodejs 12 LTS. Now I'm getting an error for process out of memory. I have also tried using --max-oud-size to increase the memory allocation.

export NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096

It didn't work. Following is the stack trace for the error

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Currently, node on M1 macOS doesn't work well except node@15. If you using node@12 built on arm64 architecture, it may be crashed on some scripts such as https://github.com/dcodeIO/long.js.git

You can check it if you run test cases in long.js repository.

If you would like to know on which your node is built, please follow this:

$ node

Welcome to Node.js v12.21.0.
Type ".help" for more information.
>
> process.arch
'arm64'

The above example means the node binary is built for arm64 architecture (Apple Silicon M1 chip). If node is run on rosetta2, it will display 'x64'.

I have tested some test cases in long.js and node.js source repository.

• Node@15 for arm64: no problem
• Node@12 for arm64: some errors in long.js and node.js test cases
• Node@12 for x64: no problem

As I know, node@12 for arm64 works well for some scripts, but some scripts has been crashed such as long.js.

Edit

On June 21th, 2021, node@14 on Homebrew has passed long.js test cases for arm64. (v14.17.1) Of course, node@16 also supports it.

But, node@12 still has errors on them. (v12.22.1)

Answer 2

This issue has been fixed in Node 15.3.0.

I updated mine and it worked fine for me.
