fix(router-core): skip lifecycle callbacks below fallback boundaries by Sheraff · Pull Request #8165 · TanStack/router

Sheraff · 2026-08-25T07:44:40Z

🎯 Changes

Exclude structural descendants below error and not-found boundaries from route lifecycle callbacks while keeping the boundary itself active. A child hidden by a committed fallback leaves once and enters again when a later navigation restores it.

Track the active lifecycle cutoff separately from mutable match statuses. This prevents phantom callbacks after invalidation, preserves background reload behavior, and initializes membership during hydration. Publish the cutoff with its committed branch before observers can synchronously start another navigation.

Use standard array membership checks over the active prefixes. A zero or absent cutoff denotes the whole committed branch, so successful branches are reused and only fallback prefixes are copied. The remembered cutoff still survives mutable match statuses. The optional cutoff is declared in the existing RouterCore interface, avoiding a redundant constructor assignment and class-level declare syntax that Playwright cannot transform.

Before rebasing onto current main, the minimal React bundle measured +47 gzip bytes relative to #8161, down from +99 in the previous version (52 bytes saved in the same local measurement environment). Moving the optional cutoff into the interface does not change the emitted JavaScript. This favors size and simpler dispatch; it is not a performance optimization. Local benchmarks cover depths 1–6 in both client and server modes, including shared-layout sibling and unequal-depth navigation. Dispatch has a nanosecond-scale cost relative to the previous bounded loops; no overall navigation speedup is claimed. Unstable CodSpeed reports are excluded from decisions.

Validation: unit, type, and lint targets passed for router-core, React, Solid, and Vue; all 30 React browser navigation tests passed. Added coverage includes client/server fallback transitions, invalidation, hydration, publication supersession, pending restoration, explicit not-found targeting, callback supersession, and departure after background error/notFound with current callback data. All 18 bundle scenarios were measured.

Rebased onto main after #8161 merged. The three e2e suites affected by the class-level declare syntax now pass locally: React Start SSR styles (20 tests), React Start scroll restoration (31 tests), and the React Router scroll-restoration sandbox with browser and hash history (50 tests).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved route lifecycle behavior around error and not-found boundaries.
- Structural descendant routes no longer trigger lifecycle callbacks while an ancestor fallback is active.
- Lifecycle membership is preserved during invalidation, hydration, background reloads, and superseded navigations.
- Lifecycle callbacks remain aligned with the currently published foreground route branch.
Documentation
- Clarified onEnter, onStay, and onLeave behavior for fallback, hidden descendant, and background reload scenarios.
- Updated documented onCatch callback types for React, Solid, and Vue routers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The router now tracks a foreground lifecycle boundary at error and not-found matches. Client, server, and hydration paths pass this boundary to lifecycle dispatch. Tests and documentation cover fallback, invalidation, reload, hydration, and navigation behavior.

Changes

Route lifecycle boundary handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Boundary calculation and dispatch `packages/router-core/src/router.ts`	Adds `lifecycleEnd`, stores `_lifecycleEnd`, and restricts lifecycle callbacks to the foreground branch.
Client and server load integration `packages/router-core/src/load-client.ts`, `packages/router-core/src/load-server.ts`	Client commits, server rendering, and hydration calculate lifecycle boundaries and pass previous and next values to `runRouteLifecycle`.
Lifecycle transition validation `packages/router-core/tests/fallback-route-lifecycle.test.ts`, `packages/router-core/tests/lifecycle-dispatch.test.ts`, `packages/router-core/tests/fallback-route-lifecycle.bench.ts`	Tests and benchmarks cover fallback transitions, invalidation, superseded navigation, callback dispatch, and lifecycle boundary performance.
Boundary behavior and documentation `packages/react-router/tests/not-found-route-lifecycle.test.tsx`, `packages/router-core/tests/*`, `docs/router/api/router/RouteOptionsType.md`, `.changeset/breezy-chicken-care.md`	Coverage validates hidden descendants, hydration, background reloads, and not-found navigation. Documentation and release notes describe the updated lifecycle behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk:⚪ Minimal · up to a383a

This change makes lifecycle hooks exclude descendants hidden by error or not-found fallbacks while retaining the boundary route and restoring descendant entry when navigation recovers. The covered client, server, hydration, and navigation paths indicate no remaining merge-blocking risk.

Move fallback and boundary into the test.each matrix.
The two nested loops run 9 independent router scenarios inside one Vitest case. If one combination fails, the case reports only client or server, and the remaining combinations do not run.

Important

At least one additional CI pipeline execution has run since the conclusion below was written and it may no longer be applicable.

Nx Cloud has identified a possible root cause for your failed CI:

We classified both e2e failures as environment_state rather than code changes. Neither tanstack-react-start-e2e-rsc nor tanstack-react-start-e2e-virtual-routes are in the set of projects touched by this PR, and the errors — a port-already-in-use conflict and a test-harness SyntaxError during dummy-server startup — have no traceable connection to the lifecycle-callback changes introduced here. Our recommendation is to re-run the affected tasks once the environment is clean.

No code changes were suggested for this issue.
