macOS x64 appbundle builds keep dying inside webpack's TerserPlugin at
92% (asset processing). Build #1294 on `pgabf-macos-x64` reached
`<s> [webpack.Progress] 92% [0] sealing asset processing TerserPlugin`
and was killed without producing a V8 fatal-error preamble, which
points at the OS reaping the Node process under memory pressure rather
than V8 hitting its own heap ceiling.
TerserPlugin is already running single-threaded (see
web/webpack.config.js, `parallel: false`), so we can't claw memory back
by reducing parallelism. Bump the V8 old-space ceiling from 3072 MB to
6144 MB inside the macOS appbundle build only — the helper in
pkg/mac/build-functions.sh bypasses `yarn run bundle` and calls
`yarn run webpacker` directly (see commit d96e8634), so this knob is
independent of the npm script and does not affect linux/pip/Makefile
or dev-machine builds. They keep the 3 GB the `bundle` script has been
shipping with for years.
If this still doesn't get the x64 box past Terser we'll switch the
minimiser to esbuild via terser-webpack-plugin's `minify` option; that
is a larger and more invasive change so we are trying the cheap fix
first.
pgAdmin macOS Builds
Required Packages
Either build the sources or get them from macports or similar:
-
Yarn & NodeJS
-
PostgreSQL 12 or above from http://www.postgresql.org/
-
Python 3.6+ (required for building). The build environment should run this version of python in response to the python command.
Building
-
To bundle a different version of Python from the default of 3.13.1, set the PGADMIN_PYTHON_VERSION environment variable, e.g:
export PGADMIN_PYTHON_VERSION=3.13.11 -
If a path different from the default of /usr/local/pgsql for the PostgreSQL installation has been used, set the PGADMIN_POSTGRES_DIR environment variable appropriately, e.g:
export PGADMIN_POSTGRES_DIR=/opt/local/pgsql -
If you want to codesign the appbundle, copy codesign.conf.in to codesign.conf and set the values accordingly.
-
If you want to notarize the appbundle, copy notarization.conf.in to notarization.conf and set the values accordingly. Note that notarization will fail if the code isn't signed.
-
To build only DMG file, go to pgAdmin4 source root directory and execute:
make appbundleTo build both DMG and ZIP files, go to pgAdmin4 source root directory and execute:
make appbundle BUILD_OPTS="--zip"This will create the python virtual environment and install all the required python modules mentioned in the requirements file using pip, build the runtime code and finally create the app bundle and the DMG and/or ZIP in ./dist directory.
