Crash dump when installing Phoenix on Mac M2: eheap_alloc: Cannot allocate X bytes of memory (of type "heap_frag")
Hi all,
Before this, I have no issues install Elixir and Erlang using ASDF on my MacBook M2 (64GB RAM).
But today I chose to update it, all seemed fine until I tried to install phoenix framework.
I have uninstalled all and installed back having the same issue. Not sure what’s the issue?
mix archive.install hex phx_new
Resolving Hex dependencies...
eheap_alloc: Cannot allocate 976733209832459912 bytes of memory (of type "heap_frag").
Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...beam/erl_term.h:1492:tag_val_def() Assertion failed: tag_val_def error
[1] 25425 abort mix archive.install hex phx_new
Any help? Thanks.

A workaround is compiling Hex from scratch on that OTP version. It can be easily done using this command:
mix archive.install github hexpm/hex branch latest

The bug is not asdf specific. It affects all aarch64 systems running this specific otp patch release.
I‘d suggest using hexpm/elixir images, which let you control the otp version used. Then you can use the last patch release until the fix for the bug is out.

I opened an issue on the Erlang github page. mix deps.get crashes on 26.2.3 - M2 Mac · Issue #8238 · erlang/otp · GitHub
