Breaking Changes

core

• Generally this PR has two implications:

  • effects which are triggered outside of change detection run as part of the change detection process instead of as a microtask. Depending on the specifics of application/test setup, this can result in them executing earlier or later (or requiring additional test steps to trigger; see below examples).

  • effects which are triggered during change detection (e.g. by input signals) run earlier, before the component's template.

  We've seen a few common failure cases:

  • Tests which used to rely on the Promise timing of effects now need to await whenStable() or call .detectChanges() in order for effects to run.

  • Tests which use faked clocks may need to fast-forward/flush the clock to cause effects to run.

  • effect()s triggered during CD could rely on the application being fully rendered (for example, they could easily read computed styles, etc). With the change, they run before the component's updates and can get incorrect answers. The recent afterRenderEffect() API is a natural replacement for this style of effect.

  • effect()s which synchronize with the forms system are particularly timing-sensitive and might need to adjust their initialization timing.

• ExperimentalPendingTasks has been renamed to PendingTasks.
