Pessimistic Updates: isSuccess is always false

[anotheri]

I'm using "@reduxjs/toolkit": "^2.9.0" and following the pessimistic updates example.

That's how my updateItem function defined in api:

    updateItem: build.mutation<ItemResponse, ItemUpdatePayload>({
      query: (payload) => {
        const { id, ...body } = payload;
        return {
          url: `/items/${id}`
          method: 'PUT',
          body,
        };
      },

      async onQueryStarted ({ id }, { dispatch, queryFulfilled }) {
        try {
          const result = await queryFulfilled;

          // pessimistic update
          dispatch(
            api.util.updateQueryData('getItem', id, (draft) => {
              Object.assign(draft, result.data);
            }),
          );
        } catch (error) {
          console.error('Update Item error:', error);
        }
      },
      invalidatesTags: ['Items'], // i've tried do disable this but it doesn't matter, this instruction invalidates the cache of the item list
    }),

That's how i use the mutation hook in react component:

const [updateItem, { isLoading, isSuccess }] = useUpdateItemMutation();
console.debug('isSuccess:', isSuccess); // ← this always logs `false` value

The cache of getItem is getting updated correctly, but the isSuccess flag doesn't change with pessimistic updates at all, it's always false, so I unfortunately can't rely on it to show visual feedback on successful update. The workaround is to track it manually in local component state after the await updateItem(values).unwrap(); call, but i'd obviously prefer to avoid it.

On other hand, isSuccess changes as expected when i use optimistic updates with code from another documentation example like this:

    updateItem: build.mutation<ItemResponse, ItemUpdatePayload>({
      query: (payload) => {
        const { id, ...body } = payload;
        return {
          url: `/items/${id}`
          method: 'PUT',
          body,
        };
      },

      async onQueryStarted ({ id, ...patch }, { dispatch, queryFulfilled }) {
        // Optimistic update
        const patchResult = dispatch(
          api.util.updateQueryData('getItem', id, (draft) => {
            Object.assign(draft, patch);
          }),
        );

        try {
          await queryFulfilled;
        } catch (error) {
          patchResult.undo();
          console.error('Update Item error:', error);
        }
      },
      invalidatesTags: ['Items'],
    }),

FWIW, i've tried to switch versions down to 2.1.0 but the issue is still there. So i'm wondering if something wrong with example in documentation? or anything else i can try to make it work?

Was mangling around this code when I found completely unexpected workaround for pessimistic updates which changes isSuccess as expected. It works as expected if instead of using invalidatesTags: ['Items'], i trigger it via api function that placed in between the queryFulfilled and manual pessimistic update like this:

    updateItem: build.mutation<ItemResponse, ItemUpdatePayload>({
      query: (payload) => {
        const { id, ...body } = payload;
        return {
          url: `/items/${id}`
          method: 'PUT',
          body,
        };
      },

      async onQueryStarted ({ id }, { dispatch, queryFulfilled }) {
        try {
          const result = await queryFulfilled;

          dispatch(api.util.invalidateTags(['Items'])); // ← this code makes huge difference for some reasons in THIS place,

          // pessimistic update
          dispatch(
            api.util.updateQueryData('getItem', id, (draft) => {
              Object.assign(draft, result.data);
            }),
          );

          // dispatch(api.util.invalidateTags(['Items'])); // ← if instead i'll add it here isSuccess is always false
        } catch (error) {
          console.error('Update Item error:', error);
        }
      },
    }),

    // invalidatesTags: ['Items'], // ← disabled invalidation here which seems to provide the same post pessimistic update behaviour
  }

It was completely unexpected as i've tried to turn on and off the invalidatesTags prop but that didn't affect anything. As well as placing invalidation after manual update cause the same issue as well. So it seems cache invalidation/update order matters and affects the isSuccess flag change.
