Large value for year causes browser to hang

I'm experiencing the same problem described here: uxsolutions/bootstrap-datepicker#512

However, I'm not filing it upstream because I can't reproduce it with eternicode's version.

Here's the relevant invocation, if it helps:

    $('.date').datepicker
      autoclose: true
      forceParse: false
      format: 'mm/dd/yyyy'

Out of curiosity, I noticed in the latest diff that the version was adjusted to "1.1.1.11". I'm guessing this is reflecting eternicode's versioning? bootstrap-datepicker has an official 1.2 release... are the assets here reflecting the tagged releases, or the changes made in master? If it's the latter, eternicode's comment here makes me wonder if master contains everything a tagged release does.

Hi,

That's interesting. So I should be using the release branch instead of master. Alrighty, I just did that and released a new version '1.3.0.1.rc5'. This should have the same code as the release branch.

@Nerian, thanks for the lightning-fast update. Unfortunately, I'm still experiencing problems... do you know of any other possible discrepancies?

[Nerian]

Which branch in the original repo did you use that gave no error?

[ghost]

The release branch. For a sanity check, here's a jsfiddle with the assets from the branch pasted right in: http://jsfiddle.net/jFSHd/

[Nerian]

The JS code is the same in both places. I am not sure why there are different results.:confused:

Could be an issue on my end? Any chance of you reproducing it with your latest release?

[Nerian]

I did reproduced it on the test app https://github.com/Nerian/bootstrap-datepicker-rails/tree/master/testapp

So it's not an error on your side

[Nerian]

I wonder if the reason why we don't get this error on the fiddle is because fiddle has some kind of mechanism for protecting the parent view from the experimental code

[Nerian]

Nope, fiddle does freeze with

while(true){
    console.log('whaaat')
}

I'm at a total loss. I removed your gem from my Gemfile and tried loading the assets manually - still no dice.

I edited the fiddle to use the same version of jQuery (1.10.2) as my app - couldn't reproduce.

I wonder about potential conflicts with other Gems, but your test app contains next to nothing.

I just released a new version. Maybe this fixed you issue?

[ghost]

No, still no luck... 😢

[Nerian]

A new gem was released yesterday. You probably moved on already but ... :)

[ghost]

Is this fixed in the new release?

[Nerian]

The new release contains the latest code. Maybe the issue you described was fixed. Not sure.
