Problem

Fixes #9085

When rendering <SolidQueryDevtools /> or <SolidQueryDevtoolsPanel /> in Solid Start and SSR hydration setups, the devtools failed to render and instead displayed the literal string [object Promise] in the DOM. This occurred because clientOnly.tsx invoked the dynamically imported component via a raw function call Comp(rest) inside a createMemo, bypassing Solid's reactive owner lifecycle and causing unresolved component accessors to serialize directly into DOM text nodes.

Solution

  • Refactored clientOnly.tsx to mount components using createComponent(Comp, rest), preserving the proper Solid owner hierarchy and context.
  • Implemented untracked execution directly during client rendering to prevent reactive wrapper promises from leaking into text nodes during hydration.
  • Configured { hot: false } in vite.config.ts for vite-plugin-solid to resolve Windows test-runner HMR path issues (@solid-refresh).

Benefits

  • <SolidQueryDevtools /> and <SolidQueryDevtoolsPanel /> now mount and render properly in Solid Start and Vinxi-based SSR/island architectures without displaying [object Promise].
  • Ensures compliance with Solid's component lifecycle and SSR hydration protocols.
  • Enables local test suites to run cross-platform on both Windows and POSIX environments.

Checklist

  • Tests pass (pnpm test:lib)
  • Lint passes (pnpm test:eslint)
  • Type checks pass (pnpm test:types)
  • Build passes (pnpm build)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The client-only Devtools wrapper now renders loaded components through Solid’s createComponent API and uses untrack for fallback handling. The Vite test configuration disables Solid hot module replacement. The existing DevtoolsPanelOptions type re-export is unchanged.

Changes

Solid Query Devtools rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Client-only component rendering
packages/solid-query-devtools/src/clientOnly.tsx
The wrapper replaces direct component calls with createComponent. Fallback rendering now uses untrack and returns either the loaded component or props.fallback.
Package exports and test wiring
packages/solid-query-devtools/src/index.tsx, packages/solid-query-devtools/vite.config.ts
The DevtoolsPanelOptions type re-export remains unchanged. The Solid Vite plugin uses { hot: false } for tests.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3d8b2

The client-only wrapper may leave its fallback content visible after the dynamically loaded devtools component resolves, preventing the devtools from rendering for affected SSR and hydration users. The PR is not merge-ready until the fallback branch remains reactive and delayed resolution is covered by a regression test.

SolidJS 1.9.7 untrack documentation reactive dependencies component return createMemo

💡 Result:

In SolidJS, component functions are executed exactly once to initialize the reactive graph, and they are wrapped in an implicit untrack call to prevent them from becoming reactive dependencies themselves [1][2]. The core reactive primitives, such as createMemo and createEffect, manage tracking automatically when reactive values (like signals) are accessed within their execution functions [3][4][5]. 1. Untrack The untrack function is a utility that executes a function without collecting reactive dependencies from the current reactive scope [6]. It is frequently used to read a signal's value inside a reactive computation (like an effect) without subscribing that computation to the signal's updates [6][7][8]. 2. Component Execution When a component is initialized, SolidJS calls the component function inside an untrack wrapper [1][2]. This ensures that any signals accessed during the component's top-level setup do not inadvertently track the component itself as a dependency [2]. Because components do not re-render in the way typical of frameworks like React, logic that relies on signal updates must be encapsulated within fine-grained reactive primitives like createMemo or createEffect, or placed directly inside JSX where Solid can handle the reactivity implicitly [9][2]. 3. createMemo The createMemo function creates a read-only signal that derives its value from other reactive values [4]. It is optimized to be eager (it executes immediately upon creation) and caches its result [4][10]. It re-executes only when its tracked dependencies change [4][5]. If the computed value remains the same after re-execution (based on an optional equality check), it will suppress downstream updates [4][5]. Memos are generally preferred over effects for derived state because they are more efficient and follow the pattern of avoiding side effects during the reactive computation phase [5][11].

Keep the fallback branch reactive.

The untrack imported from solid-js prevents comp() and mounted() from becoming dependencies. Later calls to setComp and setMounted therefore cannot rerun this branch, so props.fallback can remain rendered after fn() resolves.

Wrap the branch in createMemo or another reactive computation, and add a delayed-resolution regression test.
