Build Failure with Heap Memory Error and NPM Issues on Heroku

[LaodiHS]

Issue Summary

I encountered an issue while trying to build with Heroku. Initially, I received a heap memory error. In an attempt to address this, I increased the allocated memory. However, this led to NPM errors during the build process.

Configuration Files
heroku.yml

build:
  docker:
    web: Dockerfile
  config:
    SHOPIFY_API_KEY: "*************************"
    SHOPIFY_API_SECRET: "*******************"
    HOST: "https://myapp-76114b90699c.herokuapp.com/"
    APP_ENV: "production"
    NODE_ENV: "production"
    SCOPES: "write_products,read_content,write_content"

Dockerfile

FROM node:18-alpine

ARG SHOPIFY_API_KEY
ENV SHOPIFY_API_KEY=$SHOPIFY_API_KEY
EXPOSE 8081
WORKDIR /app
COPY web .
RUN npm install
RUN cd frontend && npm install && npm run build
CMD ["npm", "run", "serve"]

Steps Taken

After encountering the heap memory error, I made the following changes in package.json:

"scripts": {
  "build": "NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 vite build",
  "dev": "vite",
  "coverage": "vitest run --coverage"
}
