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:

  1. The background mutation completes, and MutationCache updates its internal state to 'success' (or 'error'), which is correctly reflected in TanStack DevTools.
  2. The MutationObserver instance updates its current snapshot (observer.getCurrentResult()).
  3. 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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

createMutation now initializes its reactive result from the observer before subscription. The test suite uses real asynchronous waits and adds coverage for synchronizing a resolved mutation payload.

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 initialized from observer.getCurrentResult() before observer updates are subscribed.
Update asynchronous mutation tests
packages/svelte-query/tests/createMutation/createMutation.svelte.test.ts
Tests now use test, screen, waitFor, and real timers. Success, failure, reset, and resolved-payload behavior are updated. The query-client recreation test is removed.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 62443

The change synchronizes settled mutation state when a view remounts, preventing stale pending results. Merge-readiness risk is low because the detached/remounted lifecycle still needs direct regression coverage and a patch changeset is required for the published package.

Add a detached-observer regression test

withEffectRoot keeps the createMutation subscription active until the test callback completes. The subscription callback therefore copies the resolved result into result, so this test can pass without the initial synchronization. Detach the subscription while the mutation is pending, resolve while detached, then remount and assert the status and payload immediately.
