Coroutine gets skipped in javascript/unityscript

The class is instantiated in a different script:

 sunRotation = new AutoRotate(sunContainer, dayLength * 60, Vector3.up);

, the constructor calls the coroutine and nothing happens. Debugging shows coroutine being called, it goes over to the line where the coroutine starts, then jumps back to the constructor and finishes executing never returning to the coroutine or even running anything inside it.

I tried putting the coroutine inside of the class code. I tried making it private/public. Even after looking at tutorials dealing with classes and coroutines and reading through the forums I'm still unable to see what I'm doing wrong. :(

This is the watered down version of the code (if you need more information, look below for the ENTIRE CLASS code):

 #pragma strict
 
 public class AutoRotate {
     public function AutoRotate (parameters) {
         //Calls the coroutine
         RotateCoroutine(parameters); //Goes to the coroutine and jumps back
         //Continues here
     }
 }
 
 function RotateCoroutine (parameters) { //This line executes and then it jumps back to the origin point
     while (something) { //This line NEVER GETS REACHED
         //code
         yield WaitForSeconds(someFloatVariable);
     }
     //This line NEVER GETS REACHED either
 }

This is the whole class code here, nothing held back:

 #pragma strict
 
 public class AutoRotate {
     private var priority : float = 0.25;
     public function set Priority (value : float) {
         priority = value;        //Assets/AutoRotate.js(6,28): BCW0028: WARNING: Implicit downcast from 'Object' to 'float'.
         if (priority < 0.0) {
             Debug.Log("AutoRotate > 'priority' can't be '" + priority + "'! Corrected to 0.25!");
             priority = 0.25;
         }
     }
 
     public var isActive : boolean = true;
 
     public function AutoRotate (object : GameObject) {
         AutoRotate (object.transform, 4, Vector3.up);
     }
     public function AutoRotate (object : Transform) {
         AutoRotate (object, 4, Vector3.up);
     }
     public function AutoRotate (object : GameObject, rotationTime : float, rotationAxis : Vector3) {
         AutoRotate (object.transform, rotationTime, rotationAxis);
     }
 
     public function AutoRotate (object : Transform, rotationTime : float, rotationAxis : Vector3) {
         RotateCoroutine(object, rotationTime, rotationAxis);
     }
 }
 
 function RotateCoroutine (object : Transform, rotationTime : float, rotationAxis : Vector3) {
     while (isActive) {
         if (!object) Debug.Log("AutoRotate > RotateCoroutine > 'object' is 'NULL'.");
         Debug.Log(rotationAxis);
         object.transform.Rotate(rotationAxis, 360 / priority / rotationTime);
         yield WaitForSeconds(priority);
     }
 }
