Description

Related issue: adonisjs/logger#71 (comment)

Vite uses Rollup as its packaging tool; however, Rollup has some platform-specific binaries that can cause stack overflows in Node.js on Windows, which in turn can cause AdonisJS's HMR development server to crash silently.

I used the command $env:NODE_DEBUG="*"; node ace serve --hmr *> debug.log to output the complete Node.js debug log, but I only got the exit code 3221226505, and I couldn't see any other useful information.

I'd like to know if there's a way to get deeper levels of the crash logs for debugging purposes.

I'd like to know if there's a way to get deeper levels of the crash logs for debugging purposes.

NODE_DEBUG=* enables all of Node.js's debug logging. (Although, technically, you could compile the binary with additional breakpoints)

Perhaps rollup has its own debug environment commands?

It's likely that your process is just using too much memory. Try increasing the memory available and see if the error subsides

I tried changing the command to node --max-old-space-size=16384 ace serve --hmr, but it didn't improve the problem.

Moreover, this doesn't always happen; it happens frequently, rather than not at all. This is a very strange problem.
