FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

[Nasir-S]

This issue is similar to https://github.com/mshick/add-pr-comment/issues/93, except that it throws a JS error.

I am also using this action to post the output of a terraform plan as a PR comment using a txt file.

[3148:0x4bfddd0]     5515 ms: Mark-sweep (reduce) 1992.5 (2058.2) -> 1992.2 (2059.2) MB, 16.7 / 0.0 ms  (average mu = 0.958, current mu = 0.285) allocation failure scavenge might not succeed

Is there any way to address this?

Yes, like #93 the action should be made to sniff out large files and truncate to prevent failures.

Out of curiosity, were you hoping to link this large file in the comment? If so, would something like an S3 integration for uploading large files and then linking them be useful to you?
