Created attachment 165092 [details]
Log file I was told to attach by the IDE

I created a simple project to show the problem.  The project contains an app.js file as follows :

var express = require('express');
var app = express();

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

app.listen(3000);
console.log("Listening on port 3000");

and a package.json as follows:

{
  "name": "mys",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "Mysite",
  "main": "app.js",
  "author": "Me",
  "license": "BSD-2-Clause",
  "dependencies": {
    "express": "^4.8.0"
  }
}

With this setup I can start, stop and restart the debugger multiple times and memory usage stays around 600Mb with no problems.

I then add the following to the dependicies section of package.json and do an npm install:

    "@angular/animations": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/common": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/compiler": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/core": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/forms": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/http": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/platform-server": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/router": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/tsc-wrapped": "~4.3.1",
    "@angular/upgrade": "~4.3.1",
    "angular-in-memory-web-api": "~0.3.2",
    "core-js": "^2.4.1",
    "rxjs": "^5.1.0",
    "systemjs": "0.19.39",
    "zone.js": "^0.8.4"

I am using ngignore and have .nbignore in my node_modules folder.

When I attempt to start, stop and restart the debugger multiple times with the above modules installed, it will increase its memory usage to over 1Gb quickly and then hang.

I do not understand why adding the Angular modules causes the debugger to hang when my app.js does not even reference any modules other than express.  I also tried deleting the package.json file but left the modules installed and this did not help.

Any help would be appreciated since I cannot continue development on my Angular project using Netbeans at this time.  I also attempted to report this directly thru the IDE but it hung trying to upload and recommended I enter it directly on this site and attach the messages.log.1.

Thanks
