fix: merge batches #16866

Rich-Harris · 2025-09-29T19:06:22Z

This is part of a project to update some of the async batching logic to handle a few edge cases that have cropped up.

The observable change here is that if you have an await expression that runs twice, and the second one somehow resolves before the first, they are no longer forced to resolve in linear order. The easiest way to see it is in this example — click a++ then b++ in quick succession:

main — the fast b++ update is blocked on the slow a++ update
this PR — the b++ update occurs, followed by the a++ update

To make this work, whenever a batch is committed, we essentially 'rebase' other pending batches on top of the newly applied state. In the example above, when we commit the fast b++ update, we re-run any async effects that depend on b in the context of the pending a++ batch.

Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following

It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
Prefix your PR title with feat:, fix:, chore:, or docs:.
This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.
If this PR changes code within packages/svelte/src, add a changeset (npx changeset).

Tests and linting

Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint

moving back to draft, some more improvements incoming

Rich-Harris · 2025-09-29T21:15:10Z

In addition to the tests that are updated in the PR, this fixes the async-redirect test which, for reasons I don't begin to understand, passes on main despite being completely broken. Press 'b', then 'ok', then 'b' again and observe the difference in behaviour:

This looks awesome. I'll wait for Simon to review as well before approving; I think everything is good but given he's more familiar with the clientside stuff he should definitely take a look

😆 I saw this while I was working on async SSR and I was really hopeful we could murder it at some point

nice one!

Since #16866, when an async effect runs multiple times, we rebase older batches and rerun those effects. This can have unintended consequences: In a case where an async effect only depends on a single source, and that single source was updated in a later batch, we know that we don't need to / should not rerun the older batch. This PR makes it so: We collect all the sources of older batches that are not part of the current batch that just committed, and then only mark those async effects as dirty which depend on one of those other sources. Fixes the bug I noticed while working on #16935
