Maximum call stack size exceeded when changing a class - Bootstrap, jQuery

Question

I'm using jQuery 2.1.1, jQuery UI 1.11, Bootstrap 3.2, Fuel UX 2.3 (for the form wizard only) and BootstrapValidator v0.5.1-dev.

I have a huge bootstrapped form in a Fuel UX Wizard, with BootstrapValidator validation, along with a ton of jQuery for events and stuff(the total page is 1900 lines, that's why i haven't provided any code).

I had a div with class col-xs-8 around all of my form, everything was working fine. Then i changed it to class="container" (only change in the code, played it a couple of times back and forth), and now Chrome's console says :

Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded 

Why?

I have checked the call stack, there's nothing but jQuery functions there(so it shouldn't be something i or the BootstrapValidator has launched, should it?).

I have another page, with the same enviorenement, similar size and similar code - there the change from .col-xs-8 to .container went without issues.

Update: I discovered that if i leave the main div without a class, i also get the RangeError. Sooo here's my JS https://gist.github.com/sofixa/be2e575cf8a198c1cf89

Solution

If your form is NOT structured by Bootstrap classes (the element containing field and associated label does NOT have form-group class), you will see the error :

Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Reference : Maximum call stack size exceeded error warning in the official docs.

Yes, that was the problem. But the adding the col-xs-8 class to the container eliminated that problem, which is a bit weird, probably it is unexpected to do so

It's not just col-xs-?, it's for all col-?-?, BootstrapValidator use these classes + form-group to get the field parent in order to place the error message. So this will cause an infinite loop.

One more thing, BootstraoValidator is no longer supported, you should upgrade to use FormValidation (commercial product) created by the same author of bootstrapValidator
