Modified JUnit xml reporter for jasmine giving RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Question

I am using a modified version of Jasmine JUnit Reports (found here: https://github.com/angular/protractor-cookbook/tree/master/jasmine-junit-reports) and am getting an error for RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

The reason I modified the report is that I needed the xml reports generated at the suiteDone step, not the jasmineDone step. So basically I moved all the code from jasmineDone into suiteDone function, which is now causing the error I am seeing. I am relatively new to js so not exactly sure if some asynchronous issue or something of the sort.

This is the stack trace and related bits of code:

- RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
        at getSuite (C:\Users\AutomationUser\application\admin\adminui\e2e\common-pages\reporter.js:248:26)
        at exportObject.QmetryReporter.self.suiteDone (C:\Users\AutomationUser\application\admin\adminui\e2e\common-pages\reporter.js:312:21)
        at exportObject.QmetryReporter.self.suiteDone (C:\Users\AutomationUser\application\admin\adminui\e2e\common-pages\reporter.js:322:22)

getSuite function (line 248):

function getSuite(suite) {
    __suites[suite.id] = extend(__suites[suite.id] || {}, suite);
    return __suites[suite.id];
}

Chunk of suiteDone function:

self.suiteDone = function (suite) {
    suite = getSuite(suite); // this is line 312 from stacktrace
    if (suite._parent === UNDEFINED) {
        // disabled suite (xdescribe) -- suiteStarted was never called
        self.suiteStarted(suite);
    }
    suite._endTime = new Date();
    currentSuite = suite._parent;
    // below this line is the start of jasmineDone function that I moved into this function
    if (currentSuite) {
        // focused spec (fit) -- suiteDone was never called
        self.suiteDone(fakeFocusedSuite); // this is line 322 from stacktrace
    }

The issue seems to only happen when running a larger grouping of test specs. If just running a single test file, I do not get the issue.

I've run into this plenty of times. The solution that works for me is to use the increase-memory-limit package. Just install it globally and then run increase-memory-limit in the root of your project (where your package.json is). You should run this command after you have installed all your dependencies and before you start the tests. You will see a bunch of output that looks similar to the following

'~/app/node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager' written successfully.
'~/app/node_modules/.bin/webdriver-manager.cmd' written successfully.
'~/app/node_modules/.bin/webpack' written successfully.
'~/app/node_modules/.bin/webpack-cli' written successfully.
'~/app/node_modules/.bin/webpack-cli.cmd' written successfully.

'~/app/node_modules/.bin/webpack.cmd' written successfully.
'~/app/node_modules/.bin/which' written successfully.
'~/app/node_modules/.bin/which.cmd' written successfully.

After that, you shouldn't see this error again. My full regression suite is very large and I used to always see the same error when I tried to run the full suite all at once. The above packaged fixed it for me and I haven't had an issue since I started using it.
