Hangs with dangling symlink about bids-validator HOT 4 CLOSED

Error I'm seeing with a dangling symlink:

fs.js:892
return binding.stat(pathModule._makeLong(path));
^

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'tests/data/BIDS-examples-1.0.0-rc3u4/ds001//sub-01/anat/dangling.sym'

Different function may need to be used to tell if a file is a symlink, fs.stat' fs.Stats object wont contain an isSymbolicLink attribute:

Thanks @rwblair . That looks like the root of this issue. I have some time to take a look at this now, so let me know if you've already started writing a fix so we're not doubling up.

Have not started on it yet so you should be good.
