Memory Issues about composer-asset-plugin HOT 8 CLOSED

How high is the limit you hit with angular-bootstrap?

from composer-asset-plugin.

The plugin only creates VCS repositories automatically, and converted the bower.json or package.json files into a Composer version. You get almost the same memory consumption if you added all the repositories manually (but they must contain the file composer.json, this is not necessary with the plugin).

The problem of excessive memory consumption by Composer is well known (see composer/composer#3208, composer/composer#2959, composer/composer#2704, composer/composer#2661, composer/composer#1898).

I suggest you increase the memory size in your php.ini (personally, I have memory_limit = 256M).

Concerning the performance (getting content of packages), I suggest you read the issue #42.

Thanks for the quick replies.

I've tried temporarily increasing memory by using php -dmemory_limit=1G /usr/bin/composer.phar update but it still dies at 1GB. Not much point trying any higher than that, especially as I'm only dealing with one package with many more to come.

Looks like it's a question of finding workarounds and ways to minimize the load on the composer solver then.

Unfortunately I don't have time to look into it further at the moment, so back to manual downloads for me (certainly for larger packages).

Thanks again.

I just tested, and I have never exceeded 41,2M for memory.

However, for the update, Composer analyzes all versions, and there is no workaround.

I grant you, angular/bower-angular is very very very slow, because it has 1 683 tags, and this is just huge!

@angelcoding, @cebe I have maybe a solution (see #44).

@francoispluchino Strange, maybe there's something unique to my setup causing the memory leak then.
Thanks for the info and possible solution. Will try it out when I get a chance.

@angelcoding See the FAQ: How to reduce the number of requests for getting the package definitions?

The issue #52 reduces the amount of memory used for the update.
