openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded on startup due to talk-voice invoking JITI AST compilation on monolithic io core [1 participants]

When attempting to start the openclaw dashboard, the startup process fatally crashes (or hangs) on Windows with a RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded exception. The stack overflow occurs in the plugin loader during the dynamic compilation of the talk-voice plugin via the JITI engine.

TL;DR

Increase the Node.js stack size limit to prevent the "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error when loading the talk-voice plugin in the OpenClaw dashboard on Windows.

Guidance

• Identify the root cause of the recursive function calls in the talk-voice plugin that lead to the stack overflow error.
• Consider increasing the stack size limit using the --stack-size flag when running the OpenClaw dashboard command, e.g., node --stack-size=1024 openclaw dashboard.
• Review the talk-voice plugin code to optimize recursive function calls and prevent excessive stack usage.
• Verify that the issue is specific to the talk-voice plugin by disabling it and checking if the dashboard starts successfully.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The solution may vary depending on the specific implementation of the talk-voice plugin and the OpenClaw dashboard. Increasing the stack size limit may not be a permanent fix and may have performance implications.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Increase the Node.js stack size limit using the --stack-size flag to prevent the "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error, as this is a more immediate solution to get the OpenClaw dashboard running.
