Message:

for a few days I have been having difficulty performing the cache:clear command on my symfony 5.4 application. I have already increased the memory_limit of php, which I don't understand is why it happens suddenly when everything was going well before.

I think a bundle is the problem but I have no way of knowing which one.
Here is the error I get :

 // Clearing the cache for the dev environment with debug true                                                          





Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2097288 bytes) in /var/www/oasis/vendor/symfony/cache/Adapter/PhpArrayAdapter.php on line 362



In PhpArrayAdapter.php line 362:

                                                                                             

  Error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2097288 bytes) 

do you know a way to fix this problem please ?

My Answer:
It seems like the cache:clear command is running out of memory while trying to clear the cache for the dev environment. One possible solution is to increase the memory_limit in your php.ini file even further. You can try setting it to a higher value like 256M or 512M.

If increasing the memory_limit does not solve the issue, you can try clearing the cache manually by deleting the contents of the var/cache directory in your Symfony project. This can be done by running the following command in your terminal:


rm -rf var/cache/*


After manually clearing the cache, try running the cache:clear command again to see if the issue persists.

If the problem still persists, you may need to investigate further to identify which bundle or component is causing the memory exhaustion. You can try disabling bundles one by one and running the cache:clear command to see if the issue is resolved. Additionally, you can use tools like Xdebug or Blackfire to profile your application and identify memory-intensive operations.

I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue with the cache:clear command in your Symfony application.
