Allowed memory size error when running composer update

I'm trying the following: https://www.drupal.org/node/2471553

I'm getting an Allowed memory size error when running composer update

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocat e 36 bytes) in D:\web\UUtrecht\DrupalComposer\vendor\derhasi\composer-preserve-p aths\src\PathPreserver.php on line 240

The method file_exists in the file PathPreserver causes an infinitive loop.

static public function file_exists($path) 
    // Get all parent directories.
    $folders = array();
    $reset_perms = array();
    $folder = $path;
    while ($folder = dirname($folder)) {
      //      It always handling the same folder
      if ($folder === '.' || $folder === '/') {
        break;
      }
      elseif ($folder === '') {
        continue;
      }
      $folders[] = $folder;
//      I called a break in order to fixed this. 
//      if  ($folders[count($folders) - 1] === $folder) {
//        break;
//      }
    }

@HVSoftware , did you test the latest dev-master? The changes from #8 should have fixed that issue.

I have to check this.

I required
"derhasi/composer-preserve-paths": "dev-master#e10d7acbc84df0d58faf2470049f53c97a4a1503",

My results were the same as 0.1.*

See below:

Ok, here's the deal. When upgrading, you must delete the old package. Otherwise the code in the old package will be run before the update happens.

so... remove vendor/derhasi/composer-preserve-paths, and then composer update.

@generalredneck, thanks for testing that.

So in the case you stumble upon this issue, you should:

rm -r remove vendor/derhasi/composer-preserve-paths
composer update derhasi/composer-preserve-paths

I tagged a new release 0.1.3, so at least new users should not run in that error anymore.

Closing this for now. Feel free to reopen, if any problem still occurs.
