.refetch() is not working as expected after signal update when using injectQuery

[tomer953]

Describe the bug

It seems like injectInfiniteQuery that depends on some signal-based param, like query() for the queryKey/queryFn, is not working as expected when we use the .refetch() directly after updating the query signal, something like:

Edit: seems like relevant for injectQuery as well

  query = signal('');

  postsQuery = injectInfiniteQuery(() => ({
    queryKey: ['posts', this.query()],
    queryFn: ({ pageParam = 0 }) =>
      firstValueFrom(this.postsService.getPosts(pageParam, this.query())),
    initialPageParam: 0,
    getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextId,
    getPreviousPageParam: (firstPage) => firstPage.previousId,
    enabled: false,
    placeholderData: keepPreviousData,
  }));

then

search() {
    this.query.set('foo')
    this.postsQuery.refetch()
}

This isn't working (view stackblitz)

The solution is to delay the refetch call:

search() {
    this.query.set('foo')
    setTimeout(() => this.postsQuery.refetch())
}

Your minimal, reproducible example

https://stackblitz.com/edit/sb1-6pedarrr?file=src%2Fapp%2Fcomponents%2Fposts-list%2Fposts-list.component.ts

Steps to reproduce

1. type sit in the search input

2. press Search button

3. this will trigger a .refetch() with the updated search term and show the results as expected

4. remove the setTimeout() in the end of the file, and call refetch() directly

    this.postsQuery.refetch();
    //setTimeout(() => this.postsQuery.refetch());

5. this is no longer works as expected

Expected behavior

refetch() should work as expected without setTimeout()

Additional context

in my environment with v5.51.15, the HTTP call is made with the wrong param (the previous query() value)
and I tried to repro it with stackblitz, where it behaves differently (probably because of different versions) - but still not as expected.

That seems to be a behavior that is not specific to injectInfiniteQuery but would also be present for injectQuery.

[ThiloAschebrock]

This likely a consequence of using effect in the definition of the injection function as effect unlike computed will only run eventually after the dependencies have been updated. As a fix, one could, therefore, consider removing the effects as proposed for injectMutation in #9098.
