Research direction

Clone daangn/urlpack, enter packages/msgpack, run yarn install, then reproduce with yarn _build (microbundle --format esm,cjs). Read the package configuration and microbundle build path involved in this command; done means the msgpack package builds successfully without exhausting the Node.js heap on the reported environments.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

How to reproduce:

  1. Clone https://github.com/daangn/urlpack
  2. cd urlpack/packages/msgpack (https://github.com/daangn/urlpack/tree/main/packages/msgpack)
  3. yarn install
  4. yarn _build (microbundle --format esm,cjs)

This always fails with an out-of-memory issue. on Node v14, v16, Mac OS and Ubuntu 20.04

It is not reproduced in other packages with similar code and settings.

yarn run v1.22.5
$ microbundle --format esm,cjs
