react-native init fails with "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded"

See original GitHub issue

I’m not doing anything fancy, just: react-native init PleaseWork After waiting a bit, the command exits with: error RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Steps To Reproduce

run react-native init PleaseWork
Watch it ignore my pleas.

Describe what you expected to happen: I expected it to not crash while initializing a project.

I imagine this isn’t affecting many other people, it’s just strange that it crashes repeatedly when doing the literal first step in the process of creating an app.

@dulmandakh I’m literally only running react-native init PleaseWork. That’s it. None of my code is involved.

@redaphid I fixed this by removing react-native as a global install and replacing it with react-native-cli instead!
