JavaScript heap out of memory error during expo publish

Basically, a duplicate of this issue: https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/94.

The suggested fix through env variable applies and solves the issue, e.g.:

action "Publish" {
  uses = "expo/expo-github-action@2.3.0"
  env = {
    NODE_OPTIONS = "--max_old_space_size=4096"
  }
  args = "publish"
  secrets = ["EXPO_CLI_USERNAME", "EXPO_CLI_PASSWORD"]
}

According to the documentation the environments have up to 3.75 GB of ram: https://developer.github.com/actions/creating-github-actions/accessing-the-runtime-environment/#runtime-environment-resources

Not sure how you would prefer to handle this, either through documentation or hardcoded within the Dockerfile?

If anyone else comes here after encountering this issue using the latest version (@v5), the fix above is no longer relevant. Now, you can simply apply the NODE_OPTIONS directly to the step like so:

- run: expo publish
  env:
    NODE_OPTIONS: --max_old_space_size=4096

I try this, but i have the same issue: FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory
