Changes

Fixes #2346

FieldApi and FormGroupApi already drop in-flight async validation after a newer run aborts the previous AbortController. FormApi only checked the signal before starting the validator, not after it resolved.

That matters for form-level onChangeAsync validators that cannot observe the signal (including Standard Schema / Zod async refinements). A slower previous run can still apply its result and restore an error after a newer validation has already accepted the current value.

The check is the same one those sibling APIs already use: if controller.signal.aborted after the validator settles, resolve without writing errorMap.

Reproduced with a form-level async validator: slow-invalid sleeps 2000ms and returns an error, then the value becomes valid (50ms). After the slow run finishes, the form was left with Stale validation result. With this change it stays valid.

Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm test:pr.

Local verification: vitest for packages/form-core/tests/FormApi.spec.ts (150/150 passing), including a new regression that fails on main and passes with this change.

Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented stale, slower form-level async validation results from overwriting newer validation outcomes.
    • Aborted validations no longer populate the form’s error state after a newer validation succeeds.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for overlapping async validations and delayed stale errors.
  • Release

    • Included in a patch release for @tanstack/form-core.

FieldApi and FormGroupApi already drop in-flight async results after a newer run aborts them. FormApi was missing that check, so a slower previous validator could overwrite newer valid state.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Form-level async validation now ignores results from aborted validation runs. A regression test verifies that a slower invalid validation cannot restore errors after a newer valid validation succeeds. A patch changeset documents the fix.

Changes

Stale async validation handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Abort guard and regression coverage
packages/form-core/src/FormApi.ts, packages/form-core/tests/FormApi.spec.ts, .changeset/quiet-forms-ignore-stale.md
validateAsync skips results when its validator controller is aborted. The regression test covers a slow invalid validation followed by a faster valid validation. The changeset declares a patch release for @tanstack/form-core.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a0441

The change prevents stale form-level async validation results from overwriting newer valid state. The remaining risk is limited to test cleanup, since fake timers could leak into later tests if this test fails; owner follow-up is recommended, but this does not block the production fix.

Restore fake timers in a finally block.

If an assertion or await fails, later tests can inherit fake timers because no shared timer cleanup runs.
