Problem with Artisan: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted

@tykus thanks but how do i find what is using this memory? Is there a way? This is on my local machine

Also, I downloaded php from brew on Monterey iOS, how do I increase the memory limit here. I tried to find the php.ini and I am not sure I am doing it right

Thanks

@dipherent output from...

php -i | grep memory

Also, what is your Composer version:

composer --version

@tykus sorry for the late reply, I was away. Here is the output:

memory_limit => 128M => 128M
Collecting memory statistics => Yes
opcache.memory_consumption => 128 => 128
opcache.preferred_memory_model => no value => no value
opcache.protect_memory => Off => Off

Composer version 2.0.7

@eskiesirius okay - I don't know why that should be having a problem unless there is something in a ServiceProvider that is working with a lot of data? In most cases, finding the memory issue using profiling tools as described here is better (IMHO) than blindly increasing the memory limit.

Anyway, if you do decide to increase the memory_limit, on the terminal execute:

php --ini

Here, you will see where the loaded INI files are - you may have a specific memory-limits configuration file (e.g. /usr/local/etc/php/8.1/conf.d/php-memory-limits.ini), or you may need to go for the main config file (e.g. /usr/local/etc/php/8.1/php.ini) where you can bump up the memory_limit setting to, say, 512M.

@tykus I increased the limit and it worked. Thanks a lot. However, the important thing you brought my attention to is the App Service Provider, it has some data to load... I think I need to run some testing on that and see.

Many thanks for usual helps. I REALLY appreciate it. :)

@dipherent I increased the limit and it didn't work.

@esorone Thank a lot... that was helpful.. and @tykus has already pointed me in that direction.
