I'm running into a heap out of memory error when trying to run an npm ci on a fairly small angular component library. What can I do to get this runner to properly succeed? I tried switching out npm ci with npm install but it seems to run into the same issue.
My .gitlab-ci.yml looks like this:
default:
image: node:latest
stages:
- build
- build-test
cache:
key: $CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG
paths:
- .npm/
common-components-build:
stage: build
needs: []
artifacts:
paths:
- dist/
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
when: on_success
script:
- npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline
- echo "npm install complete"
- ng build component-library
allow_failure: false
common-components-build-test:
stage: build-test
needs: ["common-components-build"]
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == $CI_DEFAULT_BRANCH
when: on_success
script:
- ng test --no-watch --browsers=ChromeHeadless component-library
allow_failure: false
All these commands work fine locally but after about a minute my runner returns the following error:
$ npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline
npm WARN old lockfile
npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm,
npm WARN old lockfile so supplemental metadata must be fetched from the registry.

npm WARN old lockfile This is a one-time fix-up, please be patient...
