Excessive memory when updating

[wesort]

Describe the bug NB: might be the same as #1783

Updating from v2.11.9 to v2.11.10 has failed via the CP on multiple sites. Seems to be a memory issue.

Was able to workaround by setting memory_limit = 2048M in php.ini (previously set at 512M). This seems extraordinarily high based on reading other {s} issues and forum posts.

Wondering if setting memory_limit to -1 would be reasonable? (That value is taken from the Composer help doc here linked to in the error message.)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Update the site from Control Panel
2. Files download and upzip
3. Installation fails with the following message in CP

Couldn't install dependencies.
The command "php composer.phar update rap2hpoutre/laravel-log-viewer --prefer-dist --no-dev --optimize-autoloader" failed. 
Exit Code: 255(Unknown error) 
Output: ================ 
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1610612736 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in phar:///home/wesort/webapps/ccdev/local/temp/update-unzipped/statamic/statamic/composer.phar/src/Composer/DependencyResolver/RuleWatchNode.php on line 40

Expected behavior

• CMS to update and to hear that arcade game jingle of joy.
• Not need a (seemingly) high memory limit.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue or there's something in my environment?

How many addons do you have installed?

[wesort]

Just two:

• Logbook
• SVG Output (and this one is outmoded and unnecessary now anyway not that {s} has native support for svg)

I have this issues with recent updates, the update fails even with a memory limit of 1.5GB. Seeing this on Linux and MacOS.

Even with projects with only 1 or 2 addons which have dependencies.

COMPOSER_MEMORY_LIMIT=-1 php please update

Works but nomnomnomnom's your memory

Same issue here. Only have to addons with dependencies.

Same here. The -1 memory limit workaround works.

This solution works for me.
