Current behavior 😯

createSelector does not work as expected when using SSR with hydration

Expected behavior 🤔

createSelector should work the same whether it is being hydrated or not

Steps to reproduce 🕹

Steps:

1. pnpm create solid@latest createSelectorBug
2. cd createSelectorBug && pnpm i && pnpm dev
3. open app
4. Paste this into index route

import { Title } from "@solidjs/meta";
import Counter from "~/components/Counter";
import { useSearchParams } from "@solidjs/router";
import { createSelector, createEffect } from "solid-js";

export default function Home() {
  const [searchParams, setSearchParams] = useSearchParams();
  const isVisible = createSelector(() => searchParams.dialog);
  const isVisibleFn = (x: string) => searchParams.dialog === x;

  createEffect(() => {
    console.log({ isVisibleSelector: isVisible("test") });
  });

  createEffect(() => {
    console.log({ isVisibleFunction: isVisibleFn("test") });
  });
  return (
    <main>
      <Title>Hello World</Title>
      <h1>Hello world!</h1>
      <Counter />
      <p>
        <Show when={isVisible("test")}>
          <div>Test is visible with createSelector</div>
        </Show>
        <Show when={isVisibleFn("test")}>
          <div>Test is visible with function</div>
        </Show>
        <button
          onClick={() => {
            setSearchParams({ dialog: "test" });
          }}
        >
          Make Visible
        </button>
        Visit{" "}
        <a href="https://start.solidjs.com" target="_blank">
          start.solidjs.com
        </a>{" "}
        to learn how to build SolidStart apps.
      </p>
    </main>
  );
}

5. click Make visible button
6. isVisibleSelector does not update ui, but triggers createEffect
7. isVisibleFunction does both

Context 🔦

I added ssr to my site to improve seo and realized my dialogs stopped working, narrowed it down to createSelector
