Multiple Builds memory issue

[homerjonathan]

My project is getting quite large and I have 3 builds say, production, development and localtest. If I use polymer build the build fails with memory heap error. However if I run

polymer build --name production
polymer build --name development
polymer build --name localtest

It works perfectly. When running effectively 3 builds at the same time it can exhaust the memory. I had expected the CLI to run build for each version behind the scenes and not require much more memory. I have also found that running the build command separately for each build required is quicker despite running it 3 times instead of once.

Please note that you are naming a default build (which I don't think includes compiling or minifying) and not selecting builds from polymer.json when you use --name in this way.

This works for me, adjust the memory size as needed:
NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=2072" polymer build

You are correct when building with the --name I thought it would "look up" the build instructions, however it doesn't. I have ran polymer build with just one item in the builds list and it then builds correctly. It may be worth adding an option similar to --name to choose which build you want to save memory.

Thanks for the suggestion this works with one item. It also completes the build process a bit faster as well. However with the three builds it fails to build.

It seems that my only option is to use the --name option but add the build options as a work around.
