combinedTickCallback error in docker container

[David Jeche]

I am having an issue with the execution of NodeJS on a Jenkins node. initially these tests where functional before. They run OK on the local system however when in a container there seem to be issue related to the error: 

    at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:131:7)

I feel like this is a node problem rather than a container problem, because of the following:

// This value is used to prevent the nextTickQueue from becoming too
// large and cause the process to run out of memory. When this value
// is reached the nextTimeQueue array will be shortened (see tickDone
// for details).

this is taken from the following: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/internal/process/next_tick.js


It suggests memory to be the issue or something related to the operation of node. I am use nightwatch.js with selenium integration. I am interested to know if anyone has an idea around how this feature operates.
