Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with workerize-loader 1.3.0, webpack 4.43.0, and webpack --progress, then compare the available configuration with the reported CRA setup. Done means isolating a reproducible configuration or documenting the cause and a verified resolution; the reporter's custom configuration is unavailable.

Description

question

Workerize loader runs out of memory in my custom webpack config (unfortunately, I can't share it), and I see similar issue to this one.

FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

when running webpack --progress, it doesn't stop on any particular file, it's usually around 67% though.

workerize-loader is in version 1.3.0
webpack is 4.43.0

Would you be able to suggest how to debug this issue? I was trying to compare my config with CRA, and the only major difference is that CRA is running TypeScript in fork, I wonder if this may be an important difference.
