fix(angular-query-experimental): keep the SSR pending task held from fetch start until the result is applied - #11314
Conversation
…fetch start until the result is applied With zoneless change detection, ApplicationRef.whenStable() latches the moment the pending-task ledger touches zero, and Angular SSR serializes. Two windows left the ledger empty while query state was not yet applied: - the pending task was registered only when the subscriber saw fetchStatus 'fetching', but subscriber callbacks are delivered through notifyManager, which schedules with setTimeout(0). A fetch that starts synchronously (on subscribe, or when setOptions enables a dependent query) was untracked for at least one macrotask turn, and SSR could serialize inside it with the query still mid-fetch. - the task was released one statement before resultFromSubscriberSignal.set(state), exposing one synchronous statement of stability while the rendered view was still stale. Register the task eagerly wherever a fetch may have started synchronously, and release it in a finally after the result signal write, so the ledger stays covered from fetch start until the state is applied. Three existing tests awaited whenStable() while a fetch was in flight under fake timers; they passed only because of the registration gap and now flush the notification turn first.

QueryObserver.refetch() dispatches the fetching state synchronously, but the wrapper did not register the pending task eagerly there, leaving the same notifyManager delivery turn uncovered as the subscribe and setOptions paths.

96-102: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winTrack pending tasks per fetch lifecycle.
After the first
QueryObserver.refetch()promise resolves but before its queued idle listener runs, a secondrefetch()can start a new fetch.trackFetch()sees the existingpendingTaskRef, so it does not register a second task. The queued idle listener then releases the task before the later fetching listener registers coverage for the new fetch. In zoneless SSR,whenStable()can resolve during this interval and serialize stale query state. Track task ownership per fetch, or prevent an older idle listener from releasing coverage for a newer fetch. Add a regression test for this sequence.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

🎯 Changes
With zoneless change detection,
ApplicationRef.whenStable()latches the moment the pending-task ledger touches zero, and Angular SSR (renderApplication/platform-server) serializes. Two windows increate-base-query.tsleave the ledger empty while a query's state has not yet been applied, so SSR renders HTML from stale optimistic state even though the fetch completed:Registration lag. The pending task is registered only when the subscriber sees
fetchStatus === 'fetching'— but subscriber callbacks are delivered throughnotifyManager, which schedules withsetTimeout(0). A fetch that starts synchronously (on subscribe, or whensetOptionsenables a dependent query) is untracked for at least one macrotask turn. If the rest of the ledger drains inside that turn,whenStable()resolves and SSR serializes mid-fetch. Observed in an Angular 21.2 zoneless SSR app: the HTTP response landed at ~100 ms, serialization at ~319 ms, and the subscriber receivedsuccessonly after the HTML was written — reproducibly. Any@if (query.data())block ships empty.Release-before-write. In the subscriber callback the task is released one statement before
resultFromSubscriberSignal.set(state), exposing one synchronous statement of "stable" while the rendered view is still stale.Fix
pendingTaskRefand register it eagerly wherever a fetch may have started synchronously: afterobserver.setOptions(...)in the options effect, and afterobserver.subscribe(...)(skipped while restoring, matching existing behavior). Registration is idempotent.finally, so the ledger stays covered until the state is applied. The release cannot leak on thethrowOnErrorrethrow path, and the existing "throw skips the signal write" behavior is preserved.No public API change. Behavior under zone.js is unchanged apart from release ordering within one synchronous callback.
Tests
pending-tasks.test.ts(3 tests): the task is registered synchronously with the fetch (before any notifyManager turn), released only after the result is applied — asserted by readingquery.data()inside the release callback — including the dependent-query (enabledflip) and error paths.
