Javascript Heap Error on modules with circular links

[DanFlor]

The react native schemes manager chokes loops out of control when it encounters circular symlinks within a node module.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Install a node module with a circular link, such as react-native-http, which contains the obvious circular link: react-native-http/example/get/node_modules/http-browserify/example/streaming/node_modules/http-browserify -> ../../..

Run react-native-schemes-manager all

Expected behavior

Script completes without error.

Actual behavior

Script meets untimely demise.

Hiding schemes from node_modules xcode projects.

This all takes place in an "example" directory; perhaps not follow those? Or possibly have an exclusion list in an environment variable? Dealer's choice. 😃

Was just about to open an issue for this 😄

We're running into the same issue with the same library (react-native-http). Patching it as shown in #67 fixed the issue

Or just remove "example" folder from react-native-http
