For those of you who want to speed up the generating script files, here is the trick to do that in PHPMaker 2019.

Basically, you only need to setup the following 4 option items from "Tools" -> "Advanced Settings":

Enter the value to "Node.js path", usually (64-bit version): C:\Program Files\nodejs
Enter the value to "Node.js max. old space size", usually: 4096
Enable "Node.js write file synchronously", (optional)
Enable "Node.js garbage collection", (optional)
Save the project file,
Regenerate all the script files.

Now you will see the generating script files is running quicker than before. :-)

(See "Tools" -> "Advanced Settings" in help file for details.)

Does this require a standard Node.js install, or is specifying the "node" folder within the PHPM installation sufficient?

As mentioned, if you read the Help file "Tools" -> "Advanced Settings" -> "Node.js path", then it is path of Node.js (node.exe).

By default PHPMaker uses its own 32-bit node.exe under the "node" subfolder of the installed path, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\PHPMaker <version>\node. If you want to use another version of Node.js (e.g. 64-bit version), you can specify your own path, e.g. C:\Program Files\nodejs.

So, it depends on your needs. For me, I would prefer to use 64-bit version; which is installed in C:\Program Files\nodejs.

Make sure your PC has enough memory. If not, reduce the setting.

Alternatively, close another unused applications that still opened, and then try again. If the problem remains, try to change 4096 to 3072 or to 2048, and then try again.

changing to 3076 resolved.
