Fixes #11451

Problem

When mutate() is called inside an onSuccess handler, this.#mutateOptions is overwritten in place (via line 221) before onSettled fires in #notify(). This causes onSettled to fire with the next mutation's callbacks paired with the current mutation's data and variables.

mutation.mutate(1, {
  onSuccess: () => {
    // This overwrites this.#mutateOptions immediately
    mutation.mutate(2, { onSettled: secondOnSettled })
  },
  onSettled: firstOnSettled, // ← never called; secondOnSettled fires instead with data=1
})

Fix

Snapshot this.#mutateOptions into a local variable at the top of #notify(), before any callback fires. All three callbacks (onSuccess/onError/onSettled) then read from the snapshot and see the correct options for the mutation that actually settled.

const mutateOptions = this.#mutateOptions  // snapshot before any callback can overwrite it
if (mutateOptions && this.hasListeners()) {
  // ...use mutateOptions.onSuccess, mutateOptions.onSettled, etc.
}

This is the standard snapshot-before-dispatch pattern. Added a regression test in mutationObserver.test.tsx that fails before the fix and passes after.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Mutation callbacks now consistently receive the data and variables for the mutation they belong to, even when a success callback starts another mutation. Each mutation’s settled callback runs once with its own results.
  • Tests
    • Added regression coverage verifying callback behavior when a new mutation is triggered during a success callback.

…lbacks

When mutate() is called inside an onSuccess handler, this.#mutateOptions
is overwritten before the subsequent onSettled call in #notify(). This
causes onSettled to fire with the next mutation's callbacks but the
current mutation's data and variables.

Fix by snapshotting mutateOptions at the top of #notify() before any
callbacks execute, so all three callbacks (onSuccess/onError/onSettled)
see the same consistent options for the mutation that settled.

Walkthrough

MutationObserver now uses a snapshot of per-call options when it dispatches success, error, and settled callbacks. A regression test covers a second mutation started from the first mutation’s onSuccess callback.

Snapshot callback options and verify nested mutations
packages/query-core/src/mutationObserver.ts, packages/query-core/src/__tests__/mutationObserver.test.tsx
#notify uses the current notification’s option snapshot for success, error, and settled callbacks. The regression test checks that each mutation’s onSettled callback receives its own data and variables.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 02485

The reported optionless nested mutation appears to work, but it lacks a regression test. Add that case to protect the fix; the gap does not otherwise prevent merging.

Add an optionless nested mutation case.

The current test covers a nested mutation with onSettledSecond, not the reported optionless call. Add a separate case for mutation.mutate(2) and keep the existing two-callback test.
