$state array does not update on page back when reassigned

[0XPW87]

Describe the bug

When using the page back browser button, an array declared with $state is not reactive when using reassignment to change its value in firefox

Reproduction

let favourites = $state([])

onMount(() => {
     //this is a network promise in the actual code
     Promise.resolve({"favourites": [1, 2, 3]}).then(res => {


           //-----this causes the state to not update
           favourites = res["favourites"];
           //----


           //===but when using this, it works
           favourites.length = 0;
           for(let a of res["favourites"]){
                 favourites.push(a);
           }
           //====


     })
})

System Info

Observed only in firefox (my version - Mozilla Firefox 128.5.0esr)- not in chromium, AND only when "Disable cache" in network dev tools is turned off

Severity

annoyance

It seems to work fine

Please provide an actual reproduction, possibly in the REPL with a non working code. 😄

Hey,

thanks for the reply- as mentioned, this was only observed in firefox 128.5, when navigating back a page, AND having disabled network cache, so I presume you won’t see it in the playground with a non network request.

I don’t have my code with me (I can upload it later), but replacing the promise with a call to an endpoint returning that json is basically the entire code.
