For expressions that we know will not change, we set text content during component initialisation rather than in an effect:

p.textContent = 'whatever';

This fails if the right-hand side isn't known at initialisation time, and in the case of a derived that comes after an await but has no dynamic dependencies...

<script>
	await 0;
	let message = $derived('hello');
</script>

<p>{message}</p>

...it results in $.get(undefined), since the derived isn't created until after initialisation. This fixes it.

It's a real edge case, but it's one I ran into while looking into #17271 — will self-merge once green to unblock further exploration.

Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following

  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • Prefix your PR title with feat:, fix:, chore:, or docs:.
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.
  • If this PR changes code within packages/svelte/src, add a changeset (npx changeset).

Tests and linting

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint
