🎯 Changes

Query.fetch()'s silent-cancellation handling assumed that whenever a fetch is cancelled with { silent: true }, a replacement fetch is always about to start, so it piggybacks on this.#retryer.promise to get that replacement's result.

That assumption holds for the cancelRefetch path (a new retryer is created right after the cancel), but Query.destroy() also cancels silently (this.cancel({ silent: true })), and it is called by removeQueries, resetQueries, and clear() — none of which start a replacement fetch. In that case this.#retryer still points at the very same, already-rejected retryer, so fetch() ends up rejecting with the raw internal CancelledError instead of behaving like a normal cancellation. This surfaces directly through fetchQuery/query()/ensureQueryData and through suspense/throwOnError consumers if a concurrent removeQueries/resetQueries/clear() call races an in-flight fetch.

The fix only piggybacks on this.#retryer.promise when a different retryer was actually assigned (i.e. a replacement fetch really started). Otherwise it falls back to the existing data — mirroring what the neighboring revert branch already does — or rethrows if there's no data to fall back on.

Added two regression tests in query.test.tsx covering both cases (existing data vs. no data yet), and verified against the pre-fix code that the first test fails with the raw CancelledError as described above.

  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Canceled fetches now resolve with the latest available data when queries are removed, reset, or cleared during an in-flight request.
    • Fetches without previously available data continue to report the cancellation error.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for silent cancellation scenarios and stale-data handling.
  • Release
    • Included in a patch release of the query core package.

…emoved/reset

Query.fetch() assumed a silent cancellation always meant a replacement
fetch was starting and piggybacked on `this.#retryer.promise`. That's
true for cancelRefetch, but removeQueries/resetQueries/clear() cancel
silently via destroy() without starting a new fetch, so the same
already-rejected retryer was returned, leaking a raw internal
CancelledError to callers of fetchQuery/query()/ensureQueryData and to
suspense/throwOnError consumers. Now it only piggybacks when a new
retryer was actually assigned, otherwise falls back to existing data
like the sibling `revert` branch already does.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Query.fetch() now handles silent cancellation from query removal or reset by returning a replacement fetch, existing data, or CancelledError. Tests cover stale-data and no-data cases. A Changeset records the patch release.

Changes

Silent cancellation handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle silent cancellation results
packages/query-core/src/query.ts
Query.fetch() uses a replacement fetch when available, returns current or pre-fetch data when no replacement exists, and rethrows CancelledError when no data exists.
Validate cancellation outcomes
packages/query-core/src/__tests__/query.test.tsx, .changeset/silent-cancels-leak.md
Tests cover query removal and reset during in-flight fetches with and without cached data. The Changeset documents the patch release.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1bb6c

The change prevents removed or reset queries from exposing an internal cancellation error while preserving replacement-fetch behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Comment thread packages/query-core/src/query.ts Outdated
Query.reset() calls destroy() (silent cancel) and then immediately
overwrites this.state with the query's initial state, before the
in-flight fetch's catch block runs. The earlier fallback to
this.state.data alone therefore missed this case, since by then the
cached data had already been wiped and there was no initialData to
recover it from, so it still threw the raw CancelledError.

Fall back to this.#revertState.data (the state captured right before
this fetch started) when this.state.data is undefined, since reset()
doesn't touch that private field.
