.repeat() causes RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

[alancnet]

RxJS version:
5.1.0

Code to reproduce:
require('rxjs').Observable.of(1).repeat().subscribe(() => {})

Expected behavior:
Code should block forever and do nothing.

Actual behavior:
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Additional information:
rx 4.1.0 behaves correctly:
require('rx').Observable.just(1).repeat().subscribe(() => {})

Check this issue #651 which explains in detail (especially comment #651 (comment)) for background why it's behavior's changed between two implementations. In short in v5 default scheduling strategy has changed, so if you'd like to repeat synchronous observable you need to schedule it accordingly via subscribeOn.

I believe issue itself is sufficiently explained in original issue, closing it as dupe.

@kwonoj, it seems the proper technique would be to use .subscribeOn, but what scheduler would you use? Is the trampoline scheduler still there somewhere?

PS: This is not an edge case for me, as I often write entire programs based in RX, including a computer learning algorithm where I encountered this issue.

@alancnet check https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/blob/master/MIGRATION.md#schedulers-renamed migration guide for schedulers. you may able to use asap, which is default scheduler in v4.

@alancnet Scheduler.queue will give you identical behavior to Rx 4
