Error in bidi transitions when returning a function

[pushkine]

https://svelte.dev/repl/283d750225684048b26cf6880dfcea2d?version=3.23.0
Cannot read property 'r' of undefined

svelte/src/runtime/internal/transitions.ts

Lines 337 to 342 in dba6e5e

	if (is_function(config)) {
	wait().then(() => {
	// @ts-ignore
	config = config();
	go(b);
	});

wait.then resolves after check_outros meaning that outros will be the reassigned to its parent group, which is undefined in this case

I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. It certainly causes an error, but I'm not certain that wrapping transitions is supported behaviour.

It certainly might be nice to fix, but I'm holding off on the bug demarcation, for the time being.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

This is still happening in 4.2.8 and I'm unclear how it could be considered anything other than a bug because while the repro shows a wrapped transition it affects anything that returns a function, a feature specifically supported for transitions.

https://svelte.dev/docs/element-directives#custom-transition-functions

If a transition returns a function instead of a transition object, the function will be called in the next microtask. This allows multiple transitions to coordinate, making crossfade effects possible.

Here's another bug with a much simpler and more realistic repro showing the same issue,

#8224

Wrote up a patch for this that we apply via patch-package, it seems to work fine in my quick local testing. Svelte 4 tests throw up hundreds of failures for me on Windows so dunno that I'll be able to put up a PR for this.
