fix(svelte-query): synchronize mutation result when observer remounts by VedAnt-1004 · Pull Request #11317 · TanStack/query

VedAnt-1004 · 2026-08-27T18:29:27Z

Summary

This PR resolves an issue in @tanstack/svelte-query where mutations triggered before route transitions remain permanently stuck in a pending state when navigating back to the view, even after the underlying promise successfully finishes in the background.

The Problem

When a mutation is triggered and the user navigates away before it settles, Svelte unmounts the component. In the Svelte 5 runes implementation, unmounting triggers the cleanup callback in $effect.pre, invoking unsubscribe() on the underlying MutationObserver.

While the component is unmounted:

The background mutation completes, and MutationCache updates its internal state to 'success' (or 'error'), which is correctly reflected in TanStack DevTools.
The MutationObserver instance updates its current snapshot (observer.getCurrentResult()).
When the user navigates back, the component mounts again and re-runs the $effect.pre subscription effect.

Because observer.subscribe() only fires on new, future state transitions, it does not emit a catch-up event for updates that occurred while the listener was disconnected. As a result, the component's reactive $state(result) never receives the settled value and stays frozen in the 'pending' state.

How It Was Solved

In packages/svelte-query/src/createMutation.svelte.ts, we now explicitly synchronize result with observer.getCurrentResult() at the start of the $effect.pre block right before registering the subscription:

$effect.pre(() => {
  // Immediately sync the latest state from the observer upon mount/remount
  Object.assign(result, observer.getCurrentResult())

  const unsubscribe = observer.subscribe((val) => {
    notifyManager.batchCalls(() => {
      Object.assign(result, val)
    })()
  })
  return unsubscribe
})

### Verification
Ran unit test suite (pnpm test:lib): 23 test suites / 180 tests passed cleanly.

Ran type checks (pnpm test:types): 0 errors reported.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Mutation results now synchronize immediately when a component remounts, ensuring the latest success status and data are displayed.
- Mutation state now updates correctly when the query client changes.
- Improved handling of mutation results received while a component is temporarily unmounted.
Tests
- Updated coverage for repeated successes, failures, remounts, background mutation completion, and query client changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

createMutation now initializes its reactive result from the observer before subscribing. The tests cover repeated mutations, failure recovery, query-client changes, and observer remount synchronization. A patch changeset records the fix.

Changes

Mutation result synchronization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Initialize mutation result before subscription `packages/svelte-query/src/createMutation.svelte.ts`	The reactive `result` state is synchronized with `observer.getCurrentResult()` before observer updates are subscribed.
Validate mutation lifecycle synchronization `packages/svelte-query/tests/createMutation/createMutation.svelte.test.ts`	Tests use fake timers and cover reset, repeated success, failure recovery, query-client changes, and resolved results after observer remount.
Record patch release `.changeset/synchronize-mutation-remount.md`	A patch changeset records synchronization of mutation results when the observer remounts.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e24c0

This change is intended to refresh mutation state after navigation, but the current test can pass while the observer remains subscribed. A real unmount and remount case should be covered before merge so pending mutation UI is reliably updated after navigation.

The test still does not detach the observer subscription.

Setting isMounted to false only invalidates the options accessor. createMutation remains mounted, so its $effect.pre subscription receives the result after Line 163.

The test can pass without Line 219 in createMutation.svelte.ts. Conditionally render a child that owns createMutation, or dispose and recreate its effect root before resolving the promise.
