JS heap size increase not working (--max_old_space_size)

Issue

While build or run my project with create-react-app. It throws js heap out of memory error.

`

yarn build yarn run v1.6.0 $ react-scripts build Creating an optimized production build… <— Last few GCs —> [8792:0000021D06B28B70] 1492086 ms: Mark-sweep 1401.7 (1716.2) -> 1401.7 (1716.2) MB, 1474.4 / 0.0 ms allocation failure GC in old space requested [8792:0000021D06B28B70] 1493542 ms: Mark-sweep 1401.7 (1716.2) -> 1401.5 (1658.7) MB, 1455.7 / 0.0 ms last resort GC in old space requested [8792:0000021D06B28B70] 1494983 ms: Mark-sweep 1401.5 (1658.7) -> 1401.5 (1636.7) MB, 1439.7 / 0.0 ms last resort GC in old space requested <— JS stacktrace —> `

After searching on internet, i found a few suggestions and have added the following lines to my package start and build lines.

“start”: “node --max_old_space_size=4096 node_modules/.bin/react-scripts start”, “build”: “node --max_old_space_size=4096 node_modules/.bin/react-scripts build”

Now when i run “npm start” or “npm build” i get the following error. `

Did you try recovering your dependencies?

Yes, the issue exists after deleting node_modules folder and reinstalling through npm

[Timer]

This should work:

react-scripts --max_old_space_size=4096 start
