How do I find out what code is causing JavaScript heap out of memory

I'm trying to run yarn start but get this:

Starting the development server...

ts-loader: Using typescript@3.9.10 and C:\DevTools\git\mymoto\tsconfig.json

I've seen a few questions on here they all seem to suggest something along the lines of node --max_old_space_size=8048. In most cases the question has highlighted the code which causes this. I can't figure out what this is. How do I find out what is causing the issue? I'd like to initially see if there's anything wrong there rather than blindly trying something.

Could having a copy of my node_modules folder in the project folder cause this in any way?

Had this issue a while back. This helped me

 node --max-old-space-size=8048

Have you tried using NVM? Downgrading your Node/Typescript version can help you. I used Node v14.15.5 btw.

I had my node_modules folder and also a node_modules_backup. When I deleted node_modules_backup the issue was resolved.
