[Metro Bundler] Maximum call stack size exceeded (when upgrading to 0.50.1)

Is this a bug report?

Yes

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines?

Yes

Environment

Environment:
  OS: Linux 4.10
  Node: 8.9.0
  Yarn: 1.3.2
  npm: 5.5.1
  Watchman: 4.1.0
  Xcode: N/A
  Android Studio: Not Found

Packages: (wanted => installed)
  react: ^16.0.0 => 16.0.0
  react-native: ^0.50.1 => 0.50.1


Target Platform: iOS (10.3) & Android (targetSdkVersion 22)

Steps to Reproduce

Just upgraded from 0.49.5 to 0.50.1 and tried to bundle. The breaking changes in the new release hadn’t affected my app and shouldn’t have affected the build process.

1. npm i react-native@0.50.1
2. react-native bundle --verbose --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output output.bundle

Output:

Scanning folders for symlinks in /home/james/Documents/react-native-app/node_modules (5ms)
Scanning folders for symlinks in /home/james/Documents/react-native-app/node_modules (7ms)
Loading dependency graph, done.

Maximum call stack size exceeded
[Error]  "react-native bundle" command exited with code 1.

On the other hand when I reinstalled react-native 0.49.5:

1. npm install react-native@0.49.5
2. react-native bundle --verbose --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output output.bundle

Output:

Scanning folders for symlinks in /home/james/Documents/react-native-app/node_modules (5ms)
Scanning folders for symlinks in /home/james/Documents/react-native-app/node_modules (13ms)
Loading dependency graph, done.
bundle: start
bundle: finish
bundle: Writing bundle output to: output.bundle
bundle: Done writing bundle output
Assets destination folder is not set, skipping...

What does work

Running react-native start (i.e. developer mode) works fine

Expected Behavior

The project should bundle correctly

Actual Behavior

The bundling fails with a stack overflow. There’s no clear indication what is causing the behavior because there’s no stack trace despite explicitly enabling verbose mode. I don’t know whether stack traces of these errors are kept but it may be helpful in identifying the problem.

I upgraded Node (from v6 to v8) because I thought that may be causing it.

[fungilation]

but we are upgrading from RN 0.36

You are a brave man.

I confirm RN 0.50.3 fixed my issue, without need for bumping metro-bundler version in package.json resolutions.

[grabbou]

0.50.3 is on CI now and should be on npm soon.

I confirm that with resolutions using metro bundler 0.20.1 in our project solves:

• release bundling issue, which was the one initially reported
• release bundle crash (minification issue) which I reported above, #16689 (comment) https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/16689#issuecomment-342439661

Our app seems to be working fine but we are upgrading from RN 0.36 so we have a lot of QA to do.
