Infinite recursion on circular object when using sinon.match({})

[ajaska]

When using sinon.match with an object literal (for partial matching), samsam enters an infinite loop.

• library version : sinon@latest - 13.0.1
• Environment : node

What did you expect to happen?
Sinon correctly supports circular objects without sinon.match, so I expected this to work. (See workarounds below).

What actually happens
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

How to reproduce

const sinon = require("sinon");

const circular_obj = { a: null };
circular_obj.a = circular_obj;

const fake = sinon.fake();
fake({ b: circular_obj, c: "c" });

sinon.assert.calledWith(fake, sinon.match({ b: circular_obj }));

Output

/Users/arlanjaska/sandbox/sinon_testing/node_modules/type-detect/type-detect.js:45
function typeDetect(obj) {
                   ^

Additional context
This could probably be solved for this case by tossing in an identical() check somewhere in here. Not sure how it's handled in general though.

Workarounds

• Use sinon.match.same

sinon.assert.calledWith(fake, sinon.match({ b: sinon.match.same(circular_obj) }));

• If you are okay with checking every property, don't use sinon.match

sinon.assert.calledWith(fake, { b: circular_obj, c: "c" });
