Trying to build from repo (bitbucket) on openshift v3 with nodejs v6. Works fine on localhost with nodejs v6.9.2, npm v4.2.0, sharp v0.18.4

Solution

  • If it is cutting off at that point with no obvious error message, you are likely running out of memory for the build. This is not uncommon for npm.

    See:

    which describes how to increase memory allocated to the build. That is for similar issue when using Python.
