Calling scalafx.scene.Node.localToParentTransform / localToSceneTransform results in StackOverflow exception

[albel727]

The problem stems from their definition, e.g.

  def localToSceneTransform: Transform = delegate.localToSceneTransform

But the javafx.scene.Node delegate doesn't have the method localToSceneTransform(). It has getLocalToSceneTransform(). Since this is the case, what scala compiler does instead is applying the implicit conversion of jfxs.Node into scalafx.scene.Node... Yes! Right back into the same Node class we're starting from!... And calls its localToSceneTransform, i.e. the very same function we're in already.

Solution: change definitions to

  def localToSceneTransform: Transform = delegate.getLocalToSceneTransform
  def localToParentTransform: Transform = delegate.getLocalToParentTransform

I'd also advise to investigate whether implicit conversions produced similar recursion bugs in other places.

I create for IDEA Live-Plugin to detect recursive methods:

I will try to find other instances of infinite recursion, before closing this issue.

All infinite recursion calls should be corrected now.
