Circular structure on error

[andyrichardson]

Hey there! First off, a huge thanks for authoring this, it's incredibly useful!

Unfortunately there is an issue with x-ray where data (errors, annotations, etc) cannot be properly serialized if they have a circular structure which leaves a potential for runtime crashes depending on the error.

Is it possible to get a release out of this which serializes the errors?

Thank you for using the library and providing a a pull request to make it better.

I haven't seen this type of circular error problem when sending errors to X-Ray, but I know that I have some errors with circular errors in our system. Do you know the source of the circular error?

Do you know the source of the circular error?

Sorry for the late response @mdlavin - I never got around to finding the source in the aws-xray source code. I know that we haven't seen it since adding this serialisation step
