My electron app crashes as soon as the memory usage reaches 2,000 MB.
I can test it by having this code in my main process file which intentionally raises the memory usage:
const all = [];
let big = [];
all.push(big);
for (let i = 0; i < 2000000000; i++) {
const newLen = big.push(Math.random());
if (newLen % 500000 === 0) {
big = [];
all.push(big);
console.log('all.length: ' + all.length);
console.log('heapTotal: ' + Math.round(process.memoryUsage().heapTotal / 1e6));
}
}
console.log(all.length);
I have tried everything:
require('v8').setFlagsFromString('--max-old-space-size=4096');
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('js-flags', '--max-old-space-size=4096');
But nothing it working...
Tested on electron v3.0.0-beta.12 AND on electron v2.0.9 ~ 2.0.x
How can I increase the memory limit on Electron & not have my app crash as soon as it hits 2GB or RAM usage?
