Getter or setter functions should avoid an infinite call by accessing themselves

• GETTER_SETTER_RECURSION
• Error
• High
• No tags

This rule applies when getter or setter functions cause an infinite call by accessing themselves.

When a getter or setter function accesses itself (recursion), an exception by an infinite call is thrown.

Noncompliant Code Example

let obj = {
  set name(n) {
    this.name = n; // GETTER_SETTER_RECURSION alarm because 'obj.name = "John"' causes an infinite call.
  },
  get name() {
    return this.name; // GETTER_SETTER_RECURSION alarm
  }
}
obj.name = "John";

Compliant Code Example

let obj = {
  set name(n) {
    this._name = n;
  },
  get name() {
    return this._name;
  }
}
obj.name = "John";

This rule was introduced in DeepScan 1.11.0-beta.
