Versions:

  • Firefox 50 (latest)
  • jQuery 3.1.1

Thing: I have a loading bar that animates from left-to-right, then resets. Note that it uses the complete callback (from animate) to fire itself again.

Repro:

  1. Load http://jsbin.com/woperab/8/edit?html,css,js,output in Firefox
  2. Run, in Firefox.
  3. Minimize Firefox window.
  4. Wait about 2 minutes (get a cup of coffee).
  5. Come back.
  6. Drink coffee.
  7. Square has stopped moving. Console shows: "Too much recursion".

Note that it works if I wrap the "reset" call in a setTimeout, as in:

complete: function() { setTimeout(reset, 0) }

Speculation: Probably something to do with the requestAnimationFrame changes in jQuery 3? (If you leave the window focused, the recursion error does not appear).

Does NOT happen in Chrome/IE. Also, doesn't happen with jQuery 2.1.3.

Yeah, this kinda, sorta by design – #1578 (comment)

One option to try is to use page visibility api to swap rAF with setTimeout.

markelog added a commit to markelog/jquery that referenced this issue Mar 6, 2017
rAF logic was introduced almost three years ago relative to this commit,
as a primary method for scheduling animation (see jquerygh-1578 pull).

With it there was two substantial changes - one was explicitly mentioned
and the other was not.

First, if browser window was hidden aka `document.hidden === true`
it would immediately execute all scheduled animation without waiting
for time pass i.e. tick time become `0` instead of 13 ms of a default value.

Which created possibility for circular executions in case if `complete`
method executed the same animation (see jquerygh-3434 issue).

And the second one - since then there was two ways of scheduling animation:
with `setInterval` and `requestAnimationFrame`, but there was a
difference in their execution.

In case of `setInterval` it waited default `jQuery.fx.interval` value before
actually starting the new tick, not counting the first step which wasn't
set to be executed through tick method (aka `jQuery.fx.tick`).

Whereas `requestAnimationFrame` first scheduled the call and executed
the `step` method right after that, counting the first call of
`jQuery.fx.timer`, `tick` was happening twice in one frame.

But since tests explicitly disabled rAF method i.e.
`requestAnimationFrame = null` and checking only `setInterval` logic,
since it's impossible to do it otherwise - we missed that change.

Faulty logic also was presented with `cancelAnimationFrame`, which couldn't
clear any timers since `raf` scheduler didn't define new `timerId` value.

Because that change was so subtle, apparently no user noticed it proving
that both `cancelAnimationFrame` and `clearInterval` code paths are redundant.

Since `cancelAnimationFrame` didn't work properly and rAF is and was a primary
used code path, plus the same approach is used in other popular animation libs.

Therefore those code paths were removed.

These changes also replace two different functions which schedule the animation
with one, which checks what type of logic should be used and executes it
appropriatley, but for secondary path it now uses `setTimeout` making it more
consistent with rAF path.

Since ticks are happening globally we also don't require to listen
`visibilitychange` event.

It also changes the way how first call is scheduled so execution of
animation will not happen twice in one frame.

No new tests were not introduced, since now `setTimeout` logic should be
equivalent to the rAF one, but one test was changed since now we actually
execute animation at the first tick.
